After many complaints about Adidas' new "Jabulani" ball, FIFA decided to switch to a round object with a truer more predictable flight path for the elimination rounds. Following much deliberation they decided upon Winston Churchill's surprisingly well preserved head. England was pleased with the decision thinking its presence would inspire their players. This feeling held until German striker Miroslav Klose rocketed Churchill's resilient noggin' past David James in the 20th minute to open the scoring. Germany netted the former prime minister's head thrice more to end the day with a 4-1 victory over the English.
