Happy to be corrected but looking at those penalty replays isn’t Kane offside?
Grealish and Bowen did well when they came on and England finished pretty strongly.
The only real surprise was that Germany took so long to score and only got one.
The first of Kane's would likely have been given as a foul.Kane missed two golden chances - 1 over the bar and 1 unbelievable save from Neuer. It was hardly one way traffic for 90 minutes in fairness.
And yet some England fans were angry with his inclusion in the squad...probably the same England fans who were slaughtering Southgate for not picking him for every game a year ago!Grealish was the only player in a blue shirt to run at the German back line. He created the penalty which in turn resulted in the goal. Those that can’t see his quality astound me.
It was a ponderous performance in nothing more than a glorified friendly. No reason to be too upset with the performance or result.
Let’s hope the Germans that were throwing a number of bottles and other items in the far left corner when England were taking corners, are equally vilified by the media as the extremely small minority of numpties England had out in Munich were! I doubt it though.
I've learned a new word, thanks very much.Seven it may be but 880 passports have had to be handed in to the police ahead of this fixture. There’s 1,122 banning orders in place too.
The culture amongst some England followers is antediluvian. Respect where you’re going and the locals who live there. Enjoy the game, sing your hearts out and have a beer. There’s no need to smash anything up, get in fights or disrespect your hosts.
Aye. That they both added some energy. Those that started - for England and Germany - were cramping at the end.
I like the NL. It gets rid of friendlies in favour for playing sides at your level. However, four games in June seems a bit much. I’m sure if the WC wasn’t where it was this year we’d see these matches spread out a bit. As is it, everyone looks utterly knackered and in need of a break.
