Thomas Mueller scored twice in three minutes to send England to a crushing defeat in the last 16 of the World Cup finals.
But it could have been so different if Frank Lampard's "goal" had been allowed when the score was 2 - 1 in the first half.
York fans watched in disbelief in pubs and at homes across the city as Germany made the most of their narrow escape and added two more goals in the second half.
Matthew Upson was the sole England scorer on an afternoon that saw shops closing early in York city centre because customers were elsewhere and preoccupied with football rather than shopping.
