Lahm: England did not respect us
Posted Monday, June 28, 2010 by PA
Philip Lahm accused England of not paying Germany enough respect and that is why they are heading home following a 4-1 defeat in the last 16 of the World Cup in South Africa.
Two goals from Thomas Muller helped secure a place in the quarter-finals with Miroslav Klose and Lukas Podolski also on target. Matthew Upson pulled a goal back for England but it was not enough.
Lahm expressed his pride at the result and lauded his young up-and-coming side. "Maybe England were not prepared for this game as they should be," said the Germany captain. "Maybe they under-estimated us because our players are not as famous as the England players."
