It looks like there won't be a long, drawn-out lawsuit over box
art between THQ and Activision, regarding they're respective off-road Baja games.
According to Patent Arcade,
Activision has just gone ahead and changed the cover art for its title, SCORE International
Baja 1000: The Official Game. We've posted the new look after the break.
Considering the game released a couple of weeks ago, we're not exactly sure how this affects copies
already on shelves. Regardless, it appears THQ is appeased and has dismissed its lawsuit.

Wednesday that it has settled a discrimination lawsuit in New Jersey, and will begin accepting
personal ads from gays and lesbians for the first time. A New Jersey man sued the eight-year-old
company in 2005 after it rejected his personal ad; the company did not previously accept any ads
from gay people.pa

If you've been to our house, then you know that Samantha, our fifteen month old daughter, has the
best art collection of the family. Her room explodes with energy from the numerous paintings that
hang on the walls. Two of our favorite paintings in Samantha's room were by Kelsey Brookes. And
the reason why we love them so much is because there's a spiritual quality to them that reminds
us of being back in India. Kelsey's paintings make you feel good, and we want Samantha to wake up
to this positive energy each and every day.
Recently Sara and I wanted to learn more about Kelsey so we asked him to give us some Q's to our
A's.
Enjoy:
Age: 30 Hometown: Denver Colorado Where do you now live?: San Diego California Where would you most like to live? Inside of a wave Who was your first "hero" in life?: The first hero in my artistic life was
Picasso followed closely by Basquiat. In my life outside of art my parents were and still
are. What is your favorite thing to do on your day off from work?: Surf What is your favorite color?: I have 8 favorite colors right now! they look like
this
Who (or what) do you love?: Love its self, Curiosity and Creativity. Who and/or what are some of your influences? I am constantly surprised by and
absolutely enthralled with Hindu art especially from Tibet. I love the art of
Heinrich Kley and I love quilts. Giuseppe Arcimboldo's paintings are a
continued source of amazement. Traveling, surfing and hallucinations too.
Wooster: What other artists do you most admire?
There are so many and for so many different reasons. Here is the incomplete short list; Giuseppe
Arcimboldo and Heinrich Kley (as I have already mentioned but they deserve a second mention I
think). Indian and Tibetan folk artists, Quilt makers from around the world, CocoRosi, Folkert De
Jong, Raquib Shaw, Andre Ethier, Swoon, Dave Choe, Antony Micallef, Paul Insect, Banksy, Andrew
Schoultz, Lister, Kill Pixie, Faile, Maya Hayuk, Os Gemeos, Clayton Brothers, Yang Shaobin, Aurel
Schmidt, Gee Vaucher, Alex Grey and so many more.
Wooster: How would you describe your art to someone who could not see it?
Figurative art depicting various forms of the human body deconstructed and loosely put back
together using animal parts surrounded by psychedelic and spiritual patterns,
animals and colors. Do blind people get visual hallucinations? The art would be way easier to
explain if they did.
Wooster: What other talent would most like to have? Mediation and Music
Wooster: What do you fear the most?
Losing my mind
Wooster: What is your greatest ambition?
Losing my mind
Notes on Creaton:
Everything in the universe comes from something more fundamental than it self, united with
accident and out of this union creation and novelty are born.
As a crow is attracted to shiny and colorful items it finds in its environment our human
consciences can work in a similar fashion. As I sift though my environment separating artifacts
of beauty from the ordinary, these relics settle into my unconscious. They dance within my
subconscious as they freely associate with one another and through a combination of recollection
and accident, they migrate once again back into my active conscious when I paint. Painting is the
spark that my unconscious needs to liberate its new patterns. Random and seemingly thoughtless
marks are visualized as animals and matter, all that is left to do is place the paint where it
asks to be placed. I am a crow adhering to the universal laws of nature.
Notes on Conscientious and Painting:
Conscientious has 2 states of being in this world, aware and unaware. Awareness is the state you
are in at the moment if you are reading this unaware is what you were before and what you will be
after you are aware. These paintings represent
the only exception to that rule. Creation exists beyond the scope of physical parameters and
universal constants, unseen by tangibility and rationality. A place where rules are fluid and
dynamic, forever changing in accordance to the unknown.
These paintings are a product of this place this limbo between 2 worlds. When I close my eyes
these paintings are what I see.
Notes on Introspective Conscientious:
Introspective Conscientious is the humans minds evolved ability to take images from the real
world pull them into there minds, divide them into parts and start turning those parties into
abstractions. Was art born when Introspective Conscientious
was evolved?
Hi. Iam in the mood to change my ad. I dont know how to put it into words in terms of who Iam and
who iam looking for! Okay...looking for a single, european straight guy/cosmopolitan and aware
kinda guy, who is looking for a free spirit in the woman. Possibly to hook up and travel together
in Europe, settle down there, start as partners in crime, you know? Same vision, same goals, same
business ideas, or just same life values, same support system, kinda kindred spirits? Iam not sure,
but, looking for someone intelligent, younger,energetic, warmeharted, cute enough, with a
personality, reliable, a friend in need. A guy wanting the same in the older, attractive,
intelligent woman with spunk and plans, and wings to fly an explore the world, see places, meet new
faces. Surely, you must exist somewhere! Searching high and low and want to meet the same need in
you. If you have noone in the world who cares, I will! One condition only...be honest, be willing,
be true! We can talk further in details if you are serious only. Iam at the moment in the USA,
Boston. A teacher, single, a mover and shaker, a thinker, rare and different. All offended and
offensive dont bother. Please reply soon! Thanks and take care.
Ray Beckermann is, once again, highlighting some highly questionable activities by the RIAA, noting
that after getting defendants to agree to a settlement amount, the RIAA sometimes immediately asks
for double the agreed upon amount, and submits that proposal to the court. It's unclear how widely
this is happening, but at least in one case, it's good to hear that a judge has a
href="http://recordingindustryvspeople.blogspot.com/2008/11/riaa-attempt-to-enter-judgment-for.html"
target="_new"prevented the RIAA from getting away with this practice/a by denying the agreement,
noting the different sum than the one agreed to by the parties: blockquotei Judge Nancy Gertner:
ELECTRONIC ORDER entered re Stipulation To Judgment and Permanent Injunction filed by All
Plaintiffs as to defendant LaShaana Straw. "The parties' Stipulation to Judgment is DENIED.
Plaintiffs request that the Court approve a Stipulation requiring the Defendant to pay $10,700, yet
state in their Response that they have agreed to accept half that amount, $5,350, in full
satisfaction of the monetary portion of the proposed judgment. The Plaintiffs do not provide any
reason for this highly unusual arrangement, and the Court will not approve a stipulation which
fails reflect the actual terms of the agreement. The Plaintiffs must present to the Court a
proposed judgment which accurately states the amount the Defendant will be required to pay to
settle the claims." /i/blockquote This would be the same judge, by the way, who a
href="http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20081029/0213522679.shtml"slammed the RIAA/a for its
questionable legal tactics just a few months ago. You would think that the RIAA would know better
than to try to play legal games with Judge Gertner.br /br /a

Currently in the UK, and I purchased an aluminium macbook the day after they were released, and
also ordered invisible shield on halloween with the 40% discount. Treated the laptop like a child
in fear of scratching it e.t.c
The invisible shield never came on the predicted date, so I e-mailed Zagg and was told I were to
recieve a new one.
I finally got it on Saturday and began installing the shield. I thought it would be easy but it
took about an hour and the plastic wasn't a perfect fit on the macbook at all, and some of the
stickers I had no idea where they were to be applied. That being said, I waited 24 hours for the
film to settle before turning on my laptop as instructed.
The first thing I did is remove the film off the trackpad as the friction felt weird and I lost
sensitivity with three/four finger swiping. None the less I was more worried about protecting the
palm rest from gradual wear, and the outer body of the mac. Anyway, little gas bubbles developed
all over the outer body of the mac, and palm rest e.t.c
Apparently this was normal after reading the instructions, and would subside in 2-3 days. It's been
day 5 now, and my macbook still looks like a teenager on prom night. I reported this to Zagg and
they've been kind enough to offer sending another invisible shield which is great. But I'm just
wondering if anyone else has had problems with this product?
Mine was:
- NOT a perfect fit for the macbook
- lost sensitivity on track pad
- had some stickers I found no use for
- developed laptop acne gas bubbles
Anyone else?
Edit: after checking with one of the zagg employees , apparently I was also missing 1 of the two
bottles needed for application, lovely.

Helmes /ppstrongEngland:/strong James; Johnson, Terry, Upson, Bridge; Wright-Phillips, Barry,
Carrick, Downing; Agbonlahor, Defoe./p!-- Block 2 --pstrongPreamble:/strongbr /Stop whining! You,
the malcontents who mewl about the irrelevance of international friendlies, answer me this: on the
occasions when you experience sexual congress with another creature or creatures, do you deflate
the fun by constantly asking "but what does it all mean? Will this enhance or detract from future
performances? Are there points at stake?" No, of course you don't, or if you ever have done you are
presumably now lonesome and severely celibate, which may or may not be why you find yourself having
to tune into this here commentary. So my message to you is relax. Enjoy the frivolity. Carpe
friendly. /ppLots of decent players will be going through potentially entertaining motions tonight,
many of whom will be giving it socks. There's Gabriel Agbonlahor, the greatly improved Glenn Johson
and the hitherto ignored Michael Carrick, of course, and Michael Mancienne could get a crack at the
biggish time too (which would be nice, but not quite as heart-warming as a
href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/blog/2008/nov/19/france-savidan-football-sport"the Steve
Savidan story/a, of which I will also try to provide updates of sorts). /ppAnd then, of course,
there's the Patrick Helmes tear-jerker: the Bayer Leverkusen striker has revealed he has a very
special, not to say bonkers, reason for wanting to score agasint England tonight. "My dog was just
like a little baby to me and I wept all day long after she died [last month]," sobbed the
24-year-old yesterday. "Now every time I score a goal I point my finger to the heavens and think
about Emmy. I've now got the game against England coming up ... if I can score a goal against them,
that would be the greatest feeling in the world." Each to his own and all that, but I hope most of
you will agree that domesticated animals are rubbish. A furry freeloader is still a
freeloader./p!-- Block 3 --pstrong7:11pm: /strong "It's an interesting lineup," reckons Ian Melven,
who was in such a rush to be the first emailer tonight that he didn't bother using capital letters
or any punctuation at all, leaving me to do it for him, the swine. "Pacey front line, Young on the
bench to bring on. was hoping to see parker make a start as he's been an unsung hero for west ham
with some killer passing over the past few games (despite the bad results). I was thinking downing
doesn't have the greatest pace on the left - but with Defoe and Gabby and Wright-Philips - does it
matter? Sort of reminds me of how the local team the San Jose Earthquakes have set up - 2 deep
lying more defensive minded midfielders (although Carrick did well getting forward against Stoke)
and the attack coming from the wings." Whatever about the San Jose Knee-tremblers, it's certainly
the system favoured by Capello's old chum Giovanni Trapattoni in Ireland./p!-- Block 4
--pstrong7:15pm:/strong Previously booed by halfwits because of his association with Steve
McClaren, poor old Stewart Downing is copping plenty of abuse in my inbox. "Downing instead of
Ashley Young? Madness!" rails Kyle Karinen in the only one that I can publish. Come, come. Downing
may be slower than a cheetah in quicksand and have less tricks than a retired prostitute, but he
can stick in a mean delivery, sometimes. Which puts him on a par with David Beckham, no?/p!-- Block
5 --pstrong7:20pm:/strong "Ashley Young should be in the lineup but since I am a Villa fan, all I
am hoping for tonight is that none of my players get hurt," warbles George Templeton. "That way
Aston Villa has .01% chance of victory against Manchester Utd on Saturday instead of a .00001%
chance."/p!-- Block 6 --pstrong7:30pm: /strong"Well the banter has started early, with the German
TV analyst saying that as it's a friendly they are robbed of the usual fun of the penalty
shootout," reports Xavier Vermeren. "The pundit on German TV is 'laugh-a-minute' Oliver Kahn by the
way. They know how to entertain!"/p!-- Block 7 --pstrong7:35pm:/strong "That looks like a mighty
light German squad," bellows Tarek Hamze. "Who the hell is Compper? Jones isn't even a regular
starter at Schalke. Friedrich and Mertesacker are little more than immovable marble columns, with
impassive expressions that fit the bill too." 23-year-old left-back Marvin Compper is one of
Hoffenheim's wunderkind's, I believe, and tonight is his debut./p!-- Block 8
--pstrong7:40pm:/strong "The stakes are not as high as a big World Cup or European Championship
confrontation," smarms Steve Ryder on ITV. You see, that's why they pay him the big bucks./p!--
Block 9 --pstrong7:44pm:/strong Out waddle the players to line up for the national anthems. The
British one is greeted with many boos from the German fans, and boozy crooning by the English fans.
And the German one is met with even more boos from the English and somewhat timorous accompaniment
by the locals. 1-0 Blighty./p!-- Block 10 --pstrong7:49 min:/strong No obvious reason for the delay
to the kick-off, the players just mincing around as they await the go-ahead from the referee. "From
what you wrote earlier on, it seems that if Mr Helmes scores tonight, he'll give the finger, so to
speak, to his beloved dog, England and God, all at the same time," mumbles gary Wraith. "How very
rude."/p!-- Block 11 --pstrong1 min: /strong We have kick-off. "Did the players really waddle out?"
demands Jeff Cumpson. "They are all professional athletes, and some aren't Mark Viduka." In fact,
Jeff, none of them are Mark Viduka./p!-- Block 12 --pstrong2 mins:/strong Upson picks out
Agbonlahor with a nice long, low pass. The young Villan turns snappily and slips it through to
Defoe, who has eluded his markers and is one-on-one with the keeper! But he's offside./p!-- Block
13 --pstrong3 mins:/strong More tasty interplay twixt Defoe and Agbonlahor before Barry sends an
aimless chip into no-man's-land. Germany clear, but England quickly regain possession in the
middle. It's a positive start by England .../p!-- Block 14 --pstrong5 mins:/strong Downing has just
scorched his way down the line past Friedrich - seriously, it was confirmed by replays and
everything - but his cross was blocked. England still look much more lively than their hosts.
"Paul, did Postman Pat move to Italy after the post office was privatized, change his name, learn
Italian and become a successful football manager?" wibbles Peter Fell. "Where does he hide Jess
during games and where does he keep his trusty van. And why has nobody else noticed the real
origins of our English manager. Every time I follow a game online, I'm amazed that you lads on the
other side of the Atlantic haven't seen that there's something fishy going on. Imagine an England
backroom team that included Ted Glen, Mrs Goggins, Peter Fogg , Miss Hubbard, Sam Waldron and the
Reverend Timms. That lot would pretty much take care of anything the England lads needed!"/p!--
Block 15 --pstrong6 mins:/strong Terry puts James under pressure with a weak back-pass, but the
keeper tidies up for his grateful captain./p!-- Block 16 --pstrong8 mins:/strong Bridge races down
the left to combine with Agbonlahor, who wriggles past Friedrich but, as with Downing moments
earlier, his cross is cut out. Then Germany hurtle down the other end and Trochowski sends a wicked
ball into the box that James spills. Luckily for him, Barry was on hand to punt clear. "With Lamps
and Gerrard absent tonight, I wonder who'll take spot kicks for England tonight,should they be
awarded any," wonders Chidanand Vasudev. "My money's on Gareth Barry. Yours?" Well, my money went
on Schweinsteiger to score first in a 2-1 Germany win, if you must know./p!-- Block 17 --pstrong10
mins:/strong This is good stuff from England so far, with the exception of a couple of wobbles at
the back. They're tormenting Germany with pace on the flanks but are also probing intelligently
through the middle, Carrick having just picked out the perpetually moving Defoe with a dainty clip
over the top. Defoe was eventually crowded out./p!-- Block 18 --pstrong12 mins:/strong Lovely
reverse pass into the box by Barry. Agabonlahor sets off in chase, as does goalkeeper Adler. The
Villan gives t he keeper a muscular shoulder, and the keeper collapses as if hit with a bazooka,
and the silly ref buys it. Free out./p!-- Block 19 --pstrong15 mins:/strong "It's all going
swimmingly for England," reckons Clive Tyldlsey in that nasally way of his. And that's Germany's
cue to dispossess Barry in mid-way and venture forward with pace. England regroup well and
Schweinsteiger is obliged to knock the ball backwards. It eventually comes all the way back to the
keeper and Germany have to rebuild, which they attempt to do but Jones eventually mis-controls a
hopeful long ball and, frankly, it's just like watching England of old. This new England are well
on top./p!-- Block 20 --pstrong18 mins:/strong Wright-Phillips swings in a corner that Friedrich
nods away easily. "While following the MBM, I'm also taking an online Professional Ethics exam,
which I must pass as part of keeping my job," snorts Mac Millings. "But I'm stumped on this
question and am wondering if you can help: "Are you committing an Ethics Violation if, while at the
office taking an online professional ethics exam, you are following a football match via MBM?" That
depends, does the exam feature any questions pertaining to this hugely important friendly?/p!--
Block 21 --pstrong21 mins:/strong Barry pumps a long one into the channels for Defoe to chase. The
little man does just that, but can't there in time to prevent it trickling out of play. "I have
always been mystified by Don Fabio omitting England's best midfielder not named Paul Scholes from
his team sheets," booms Brian Harvey. "Given that he now has an opportunity to make an impact,
albeit against a Germany Z side, could you please provide some indication if Michael Carrick is
able to play his football to-day the way we United supporters are accustomed to seeing week-in,
week-out?" He's been impressive so far, Brian, bringing some cerebral touches to the middle. His
poise and precision have been central to England's dominance./p!-- Block 22 --pstrongGOAL! Germany
0-1 England (Upson 23')/strong/p!-- Block 23 --pstrong23 mins:/strong Atrocious goalkeeping by
Adler, who came for a Downing corner and missed it embarrassingly, leaving t he ball to bounce off
Agbonlahor and into the path of Upson, who poked it over the line from four yards. A jammy goal,
but just reward for England's enterprising start./p!-- Block 24 --pstrong25 mins:/strong Germany
introduce some vigour to their game for the first time. After a snappy move, Klose danced past two
defenders before being chopped down by Wright-Phillips. Trochowski's free-kick is awkwardly pushed
behind by James, and Compper heads miles over and wide from the corner./p!-- Block 25 --pstrong27
mins:/strong Germany's retaliation appears to have petered out already, and England look eminently
comfortable. "MBM has gotten me through many a slow day here in the office, and even on a fast day
I still take 90 minutes out to do nothing while I refresh my screen," drools Charles Canavan. "Its
hard being me, working in the porn business in sunny California. And yes I am rubbing that in."
What exactly are you rubbing into what, Charles?/p!-- Block 26 --pstrong29 mins:/strong Carrick
strides forward majestically before offloading to Downing, who gallops down the left and then slips
a nice ball aback to Carrick .. who dummies it to a German defender./p!-- Block 27 --pstrong30
mins/strong Notorious hatchetman Shaun Wright-Phillips is booked for another late tackle, this time
on Compper. From 45 yards out, Trochowski loops in a free-kick. Klose rises well but nuts it well
over./p!-- Block 28 --pstrong32 mins:/strong This isn't Germany's full-strength team but you'd
still expect them to be better than this: they are truly mediocre. Long balls to Klose are pretty
much all they have to offer, apparently. Elsewhere, Robin Van Persie has put Holland 1-0 up against
Sweden, while a severely depleted Ireland side are 1-0 down at home to Poland./p!-- Block 29
--pstrong35 mins:/strong Germany are having slightly more of the ball than in the opening half hour
but they're doing sod all with it and England look compact and comfortable, while always primed to
spring forward on the counter. Wright-Phillips has just launched one such quick counter, but the
move broke down when Defoe wandered offside. "Is it me or can I hear the England fans chant '10
German bombers'?" frets Patrick Sanderson. "I had the displeasure of listening to that shit for two
weeks during an otherwise excellent World Cup 2006. Will these fools ever grow up?" Alas, I think
you already know the answer to that, Patrick./p!-- Block 30 --pstrong38 mins:/strong Another corner
for England - this could be funny .. but no, this time Adler came and connected with Downing's
delivery, punching it to safety./p!-- Block 31 --pstrong40 mins:/strong Germany again resort to
their only method of attack, curling a long ball towards Klose. Upson rises to butt it behind for a
corner. "Was I the only one mildly repulsed by John Terry's attempt to smother Upson so his own
ugly mug was more visible in the goal celebrations?" belches Tom Prankerd. I don't know, was he,
folks? Still, at least it shows Terry is filling the gap left by Rio Ferdinand and David Beckham
.../p!-- Block 32 --pstrong42 mins:/strong Downing heads clear a Germany corner and Agbonlahor
collects it before absolutely skinning Friedrich down the left. But yet again the move is killed by
an offside Englander, possibly Defoe but I didn't see clearly. Sorry about that. No really, I
am./p!-- Block 33 --pstrong44 mins:/strong Downing's on fire tonight! He rollicked down the left
and then almost emenflamed/em the ball into the net from 25 yards. But Adler did superbly well to
beat it away, before Wright-Phillips shanked the rebound well wide. "Is it me or is Capello doing
his world-famous Les Dawson face-scrunching impression in the above photo?" cooes Kevin Titman, who
with a name like that should really join Charles Canavan in California. "If so, does this therefore
qualify as a Super Match Game? I, for one, wouldn't mind a Fabio Capello cheque-book and pen ..."
You, sir, are a total blankety-blanker./p!-- Block 34 --pstrongHalf-time:/strong The signal for the
interval is greeted with morose boos by the crestfallen German fans, who are perhaps witnessing one
of the worst performances ever by their national team. England, however, have been very
accomplished so far. "Hugely impressed with Downing and Carrick so far," hurrahs Sean Barnes. "This
team seems to be proving that you don't need the big names but a balanced unit in which everyone
knows their roles and jobs. Carrick and Downing in particular have done exactly what you would want
from players in their position and have been solid and kept the ball well."/p!-- Block 35
--pstrongPorn again:/strong "I'd like to know if Charles Canavan's porn job is at the office/studio
at 15th and Mission in San Francisco," froths James Moy. "If so, I'd like to report that I'm a
block away and its actually cold and drizzly here. Although I can confirm they make porn over
there." I'm not sure I believe you, James. Any chance you could provide photographic evidence?
Actually, on second thoughts, I'm not quite ready to lose my job. Unless Charles Canavan's people
are recruiting? Hey, that's a joke. Now, I'm off to get a coffee. And maybe a cold shower./p!--
Block 36 --pstrong46 mins:/strong Substitutions: Carson on for James, and Bent on for Defoe. For
Germany, blundering keeper Adler has been replaced by Weise and Marin is on for Jones. Updates from
elsewhere: Craig Bellamy has just put Wales in front in Denmark, the depleted Republic are still
losing at home to Poland, Scotland are still trailing to the team of god, Savidan hasn't yet
featured as France are being held 0-0 by Uruguay, Greece and Italy are 1-1, Israel are holding are
2-2 with Ivory Coast, and I can't remember the other but they're all available on this site
somewhere./p!-- Block 37 --pstrong47 mins:/strong Germany begin the second half looking angry, but
still fairly rubbish. Within moments they've gifted possession to Wright-Phillips, who charges down
... and then over it. Throw-in to Germany./p!-- Block 38 --pstrong49 mins:/strong Germany have
managed to pin England back for the last minute or so, though have shown no penetration and England
seem content to absorb the bluntness with a view to countering quickly. Having run out of ideas, or
perhaps having seen highlights of Croatia's last visit to Wembley, Rolfes tries to beat Carson from
40 yards. He succeeds only in finding a fan in Row X. Which is presumably where Charles Canavan
would be sitting if he were in Berlin tonight./p!-- Block 39 --pstrong51 mins:/strong Capello is
bouncing up and down furiously on the line, clearly outraged that this limited German side is
dictating proceedings, sort of, in this second half. The Italian seems to be suggesting that
England don't need to defend so deep. He's right. In fact, this German shower are so shoddy they
may not even need to defend at all./p!-- Block 40 --pstrong53 mins:/strong Upson surrenders the
ball with a wayward pass into touch when under no pressure at all. Capello explodes./p!-- Block 41
--pstrong54 mins:/strong Solid defending by Johnson, who was initially wrongfooted by Helmes but
quickly recovered and stripped the German of the ball. There'll be no pointing at dead dogs just
yet, then./p!-- Block 42 --pstrong56 mins:/strong Bridge again gets down the left to combine with
Downing, who nutmegs an opponent before attempting another long-ranger. This ine flies way wide. On
that note, Germany withdraw Gomes and introduce Podolski. "I came in late," parps Nicholas Clifton.
"Was Charles Canavan the chap taking the ethics test - and if so what sort of questions does it
contain?"/p!-- Block 43 --pstrong58 mins:/strong Carson cuts out a Marin cross - and I do believe
that's the keeper's first touch since coming on, apart from a couple of goal kicks./p!-- Block 44
--pstrong60 mins:/strong Carrick neatly pinches the ball off Schweinsteiger to instigate more
English probing. It breaks down due to Agbonlahor's ropey control, but a loose pass by a German
enables Carrick to dart in and win it back./p!-- Block 45 --pstrong62 mins:/strong GOAL! But no!
Bent has somehow missed! Johnson won the ball brilliantly in the middle and Upson slipped it
through to bent, who rounded the keeper ... and slotted the ball wide! Staggering!/p!-- Block 46
--pstrongGOAL! Germany 1-1 England (Helmes 64') /strong/p!-- Block 47 --pstrong64 mins:/strong An
absolutely farcical sequence of play gifts Germany and equaliser. Moments after Bent's absurd miss,
a long ball headed towards the England box. Terry attempted to shepherd it back to the keeper, but
Carson was slow to come and Terry allowed Helmes to nip in, nutmeg the exposed keeper and tap in
into the net. An awful goal borne of a grievous lack of communication. The commentators are blaming
Carson, but I think Terry should have dealt with that./p!-- Block 48 --pstrong67 mins:/strong
Carrick slides sumptuous ball through to Agbonlahor, who holds off the defenders and wallops it
goalward from the edge of the box. The keeper gets a finger to it and that's enough to end the ball
into the side-netting. "Two words: Rob Green," says Richard Graveling. Wrong, these are the two you
want: Chris Kirkland./p!-- Block 49 --pstrong69 mins:/strong England have responded well to that
calamity, especially Downing, who continues to torture Germany down his wing. Meanwhile, Liban
Saleh agrees with me regarding the England goal: "John Terry has just made Scott Carson look like
an idiot," thunders Liban. "The ball stopped far too far away from Scott Carson for him to do
anything with it, yet Terry decided he just didn't want to deal with it. An absolutley disgraceful
dereliction of duty by the England captain."/p!-- Block 50 --pstrong72 mins:/strong Downing - who
is rivalling Carrick for man of the match - has forced a good save from Wiese from a 25-yard
free-kick. Meanwhile, an argument is raging in Guardian Towers as to whether Terry or Carson was to
blame for that goal. "I lost count on how many times you wrote how badly Germany is playing today,"
heckles Ben Lubic. "You should also mention that England may hire their national coach from Uranus
and still not get the goalkeeping right." It was Terry's fault. He had control of the ball and, in
the absence of any clear understanding with his keeper, should have put it out of danger, not allow
himself to be pickpocketed on the edge of the area./p!-- Block 51 --pstrong75
mins:/strongTrochowski waltzes in from the left and tees up Podolski, who sends in a rocket from 25
yards. Carson does very well to push it out for a corner. Germany are looking lively, as Ashley
Young warms up for England. At this point I must remind you that my money is on 2-1 to Germany. "No
one should ever doubt now that John Terry isn't as focused for his country as he is for his club,"
lectures Mike Gibbons. "That error was as basic and fundamental as leaning way back and falling
over when striking a potentially Champions League winning penalty."/p!-- Block 52 --pstrong77
mins:/strong England are losing the compactness they had for the first hour, and a reinvigorated
Germany are starting to exploit the gap. Young totters on for Agbonlahor, as Schaffer replaces
Compper for Germany./p!-- Block 53 --pstrong80 mins:/strong Splendid effort by Wright-Phillips. He
pounced on the ball around the half-way line and bounded forward before unleashing a swirling shot
from the edge of the box and was unlucky to see it crash back off the post. Meanwhile, the rumble
over Germany's goal just won't die down. "We have just witnessed yet another reason why Ferdinand
should have been entrusted with the captaincy ahead of that bungler Terry," pipes up Sanjay
Raveendranath./p!-- Block 54 --pstrong81 mins:/strong As Germany pen England back, Schafer emerges
as a threat down the left. Twice in a minute he ghosted past Johnson, but both times his crosses
fell to Englishmen "The easiest way to settle your dispute over the goal is to watch where Terry
makes the decision to 'shepherd' the ball back to Carson," fumes James Kay. "It was about 15 yards
outside the area. No wonder Carson was confused."/p!-- Block 55 --pstrongGOAL! Germany 1-2 England
(Terry 82')/strong/p!-- Block 56 --pstrong82 mins:/strong Terry haters, pipe down! The captain has
atoned for his blunder by soaring brilliantly at the back post to head a perfect Downing freekick
in off the post./p!-- Block 57 --pstrong86 mins:/strong ITV have awarded the man of the match, um,
award to Upson. As you know, I would have given it to Carrick or Downing, with Wright-Phillips also
having a stormer./p!-- Block 58 --pstrong87 mins:/strong England pour forward in search of a third,
with Bridge prominent in the move. Downing eventually swings in a cross with his right foot and
when it's cleared Carrick pounces to keep England on the front foot./p!-- Block 59 --pstrong89
mins:/strong Upson breaks up a sorry German attack. "How can you doubt Terry?" spits Eric Rose.
"His goal was marginally off-side and he blatantly fouled the defender: only the great can do that
and get away with it."/p!-- Block 60 --pstrong90+1 mins:/strong Marin lofts a hopeful cross into
the box and Terry bops it away. Wright-Phillips carries it down the other end and flips it to
Carrick, who tees up Downing. The Boro boy cuts inside and attempts a Ronnie
Whelan-in-Milk-Cup-final-style curler, but Wiese palms it away./p!-- Block 61 --pstrong90+3 mins:
/strong Capello replaces Wright-Phillips with Crouch. Yes, that could make all the difference with
only 40 seconds left./p!-- Block 62 --pstrongFull-time:/strong The furious booing of the German
fans is music to English ears. A methodical, mature performance of poise, speed and enterprise is
rewarded with a fine victory. In between savouring the adulation of the travelling fans, Terry
converses briefly with Carson, who, if my lip-reading is correct, is explaining that he never
called for the ball before Germany's goal. Both English goals came from centre-backs via
set-pieces, but don't let that fool you into thinking Capello's crew otherwise lacked penetration.
They didn't. And just before I go, I should tell you that in his post-match interview Terry has
admitted that the German goal was his fault. "I should have cleared it, I hold my hands up to that.
It wasn't Scotty's fault at all." Would he have said that if he hadn't redeemed himself with the
winner? Maybe./pdiv style="float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"ullia
