<description>&lt;p&gt;This 6 part series started with England v Germany and Geoff Hurst&amp;#39;s controversial goal in the 1966 World Cup final. It now comes full circle - this time, the two European rivals meeting in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;England were 2-0 down before Matt Epson scored to pull the game back to 2-1. Then, Frank Lampard took aim from distance. His shot cannoned off the underside of the crossbar and crossed the goal by a full meter. Lampard wheeled away in celebration. The England bench, led by manager Fabio Capello, fist pumped the air to celebrate England&amp;#39;s crucial equaliser. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Those celebrations quickly turned to despair as the referee continued play. No goal. FIFA President Sepp Blatter was in the stands watching proceedings. A staunch opponent of video technology, the Lampard incident was a watershed moment.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;After this, the game would never be the same again.&lt;/p&gt;
