Germany 4 England 1 pictures and comment

At 2-1 down England score a goal which is not seen by the linesman or ref. The same linesman who gave Rooney offside incorrectly when clear through on goal, as he received the ball from a German. This latter point doesn't seem to have been discussed on the TV to my knowledge. Was that linesman competent???
