David Cameron -- the guy above holding his head --looks how I feel.

In between the morning working sessions of Sunday's G20 summit, the British PM and German Chancellor Angela Merkel found some time to watch the England-Germany World Cup soccer match.

Cameron, no doubt, wishes they hadn't. England were trounced 4-1 by a vastly superior German side that shredded the Three Lions' back four and crushed a nation's hopes and dreams -- again.

The match also featured potentially one of the worst calls in the tournament's history after the Uruguayan officiating team incorrectly ruled a clear goal by Frank Lampard did not cross the line.
