In the round-of-16 match of the 2010 FIFA World Cup against rivals Germany, Lampard had a first-half shot at goal that bounced off the crossbar and from TV replays was clearly seen to cross the goal line.
If counted, it would have tied the game 2–2.
However, neither the referee nor the linesman saw it as a goal, and play was continued.
In the second-half, Lampard hit the cross-bar again, with a 30-yard free-kick.
The final score was a 4–1 win for Germany, eliminating England from the tournament.

As England exited the 2010 FIFA World Cup, Lampard had already achieved the record of having made 37 shots on goal without scoring in a World Cup tournament, more than any other player since 1966.

On 8 February 2011, it was announced that Lampard would captain the national team against Denmark in a friendly played the next day after both Rio Ferdinand and Steven Gerrard were absent through injury.
In the Euro 2012 qualifiers, Lampard netted two goals for England, both penalties.
The first against Wales in a 2–0 win, and the latter vs Switzerland in a 2–2 draw, making Lampard England's most prolific penalty taker ever.
In November 2011, Lampard captained England to a 1–0 friendly victory over current World Champions Spain, a game in which he scored the only goal.

On 31 May 2012, he was ruled out of the Euro 2012 due to a thigh injury.
He was subsequently replaced by Jordan Henderson.
