from a different planet

It was embarrassing to watch as Mesut Ozil and Bastian Schweinsteiger made monkeys of Lampard, Barry and the rest.

Playing beautiful triangles with Miroslav Klose, Lukas Podolski and Thomas Muller, they were so far ahead of a decrepit England as to appear to come from a different planet.

Germany played a totally different brand of football. Modern football, moving the ball round the pitch at pace and with technique that shamed England, who looked slow, dull and witless in comparison.
