Morning, Dave - I'm feeling somehow rather calm right now. I suppose it's after all that drama yesterday. We saw that in knock-out football anything can happen. So, I'm just going to try to sit back, relax and enjoy it.
Daily Mail says that Frank De Boer was sacked
Chillwell, White and DCL miss out
Why leave your front man out?
UEFA stupid rule for having to sit three players entirely....what's the point !
Good morning , Bob and Dave. Here for the big match and agree with what you said on the post. Too conservative , but any England win will due today
I suspect that Gareth will get massacred by fans and the media if England gets beaten. Of course if we win, he’ll be hailed as a genius.
As I stated on the text Frankie the Bore has won the sack race in both tournament and regular season PPPs. A PPP first?
England will be in all white
Germany in all black
agreed, Dave. I don't understand that stupid rule. It seems that those three have sat out more than anyone else
Glad England is in white. Germany's second strip used tone green. I guess that's a thing of the past
There are men waving rackets around on my television. What's happening!
There is a good section of German fans in the stadium
They are all living in the UK
Good point, Bob. It usually works that way. Based on the media it's better to win and play poorly than to do well and lose. Anything can happen in tournament footie
ESPN still showing Wimpleton. Two tournaments on in London. The more important one will be at Wembley at the top of the hour
In the PPP I had both teams in this match going all the way to the semis. Only one can advance. In the late match I had neither team advancing. One has to somehow , some way
German fans singing and dancing to Three Lions at Wembley
They love the song....great memories of 96 for them
The Final at Wembley and Wmbledon are both going to be on a week from Sunday
It happens quite a lot
Hard to believe it's been a quarter of a century since Germany won the Euros.
EPSN says they are changing over to the Euros..and they haven't !
COME ON....CHANGE!!!
WOW! London will be booming and should making tons of Bob between the two tournaments
Agreed. Knock it off , ESPN
Finally...the game has finished...now change over!
FINALLY
Wimpleton can be switched to ESPNNEWS or ESPN Deportes for that matter. It's time for the Euros
McManaman do do do do do do!
Wahay! I've just noticed that I had picked Frank de Boer to win the sack race - two points for me!
Red Devil and The Saint also picked de Boer.
Agreed with Scooby. It's as if Southgate is playing for penalties
Well done, Bob. That should help
Macca is being ridiculous now in his criticism. He thinks that there is a better eleven on the bench than on the pitch.
That is bloody ridiculous by Scooby. No Scooby snacks for him
German anthem being booed now - rather unsporting.
Fans booing the German anthem . While we want Germany to lose this is too disrespectful.
Looks like a capacity crowd at Wembley. I guess all the restrictions have been lifted
Come on, England!
Neuer and Harry Kane and Abel to be captains
COME ON ENGLAND!
COME ON ENGLAND
COME ON ENGLAND
COME ON ENGLAND
Score three in the first 15 minutes
And we're away - come on!
They're off from Wembley !
COME ON ENGLAND
Based on Low's press conference, both managers playing conservatively
Maguire picks up an early foul and England might be able to swing a free kick in here.
Harry Maguire Mueller down by Tommy Boy. Free kick to England
Didn't beat the first man, sadly.
That free kick saw was easily headed away
First danger from Germany. Kimmich curls one in and Walker nods out for a corner.
Cross from Josh Kimmich headed out by Kyle Walker for a corner as he was played down the right by Goretzka
Walker heads away the corner
Germany looked dangerous on their first possession
Germans knocking it about too easily - I want to see our boys breaking those moves up.
Long range shot from Goretzka straight to Pickford
Agreed. Germany off to the better start
Declan Rice tooo easily tackled in midfield
Not a good start for England. Come on!
England doing nothing
TOO NEGATIVE!!!
No one is passing it or running with it FORWARD
Oh - Goretska got through and Declan Rice brought him down. Yellow for him.
Long through ball from Mueller and Goiretzka fouled in the D by Declan Rice and booked for that
Horrible start by Declan Rice
Free kick inside the D here. Kroos probably to take....
Phew! Into the wall and out.
Taken short and into the wall by Havertz
England look like the away side so far. I don't like it.
I agree. It's as if England is overawed by Germany
WAKE UP!!!
THEY ALL LOOK LOST AND ASLEEP!
Big roar as Saka gets on the ball and is fouled by Rudiger. Good free kick chance for England now!
It looked like Saka was fouled by Rudiger near the corner flag . Nice run and piece of skill
Free kick headed on by Maguire then headed out then headed back by Maguire
Sterling is dropping in and mid.... no place for Shaw to go!!
COME ON
STILL GOING THE WRONG WAY!!!
England just starting to wake up a bit.
Saka looks dangerous every time he's on the ball.
Oh - great hit by Raheem - pushed aside by Neuer.
OH! Neuer did well to push away a long range shot by Sterling
All we want to do is go backwards and sideways....... FIRST SHOT!
Decent effort by Sterling
Easy save
Corner headed by Maguire straight t o Neuer
Maguire wins the header from the corner...easy save again but better
Should have done better
Oh - Maguire had a free header there. Germans didn't pick him up. Straight at Neuer though.
Come on England... kill the Group of Death for good
Kal gets a bollocking from the ref but I want England players to press more like that. Germans are getting too much time on the ball.
Sterling had a chance to run forward....TOOO SLOW
Sady, the words in Three Lions' opening is true.... we're not creative enough, we're not positive enough
Again, why is Sterling narrow when Shaw gets the ball
We're starting to control the game now - Germany sitting back.
Hardly any of England's passes are forward!!
You see the other players pointing backwards for the pass
Come on Sterling!!
Control the damn ball
Sterling is fouled and we have another set piece chance now.
Goretzka fouls Sterling. Hope this free kick is better than the previous ones
This is so negative!
That free kick Shaw was headed a Stones throw across the box then cleared
Should have been someone following in on that Stones header. Germans are not picking up the big boys on set pieces.
England are doing nothing!
Kane has not touched the ball because England don't want to go forward!
Another free kick now - and Kimmich gets a yellow.
Ginter Shaw did grab a hold of the Shirt and is deservedly booked
Sorry - that's Ginter into the book. Come on, England. On someone's head here.
Dangerous free kick
Corner
COME ON
Great delivery in but it's cleared out for a corner.
Free kick by Tripper back headed and Neuer just fails to prevent a corner
Corner headed away
Modern day corner doesn't beat first man....then another cross....Maguire...do better!
Then Trippier goes down the right and his cross is headed wide by Maguire
Oh - Maguire had a big chance there but Gosens put him off just at the vital moment. Should have scored.
The problem for England...the top three are isolated because of the SEVEN defending players
Maguire dives....I hate that crap
Right there... Pickford finds Walker....he chests it down...space in front.... goes backwards
One header off a set piece, Dave - that's all we need. We don't need to beat them 5-0.
England are toothless going forward
Other than the first ten minutes this has been more like a chess match
Ok, but don't you think we need to be more positive....with the direction of our play!!
Kane...TWO TOUCHES! THIRTY MINUTES!
Phew! That was a close call for England. A little more quality on Kimmich's cross and Gosens might have been in. The wingbacks are the danger men for the Germmans, that's for sure.
Tommy Mueller plays Josh Kimmich did eright and his cross for Goosens was just too high
Werner in..... Pickford saves well
Oh - Werner was in there but Pickers stood up well to him.
PHEW! Werner threw but off a nice through ball from his Chelsea teammate, Havertz but Pickford blocks at his feet
England REFUSE to go forward!!!!!
I hate those late offside flags.
Nice block by Maguire from Josh Kimmich , but forunately flagged offside
Hard to believe both sides have the same number of attempts on goal. Germany I thought would have more
This is pathetic by England.... SO NEGATIVE
I don't know how anyone can be happy
Maguire's surging runs could break Germany down.
Why didn't Walker put that in the box
Good run by Phillips....can't get the cross over
Nice interplay there through Kal.
This game better not ruin the entire tournament for me
Back Heel from Kai didn't come off , but thankfully the German counter is stopped
Nice tracking back by Walker there.
Havetz well tackled by Kyle Walker after Germany won three 50-50 challenges
Stu Robson said the match is not dull. He must be watching a different match than us
COME ON ENGLAND
Oh - Kal into nosebleed territory almost latching onto Kane's ball.
Through ball from Harry Kane and not Abel to find Kal. Too long
So many times England get the ball with so much space in front and they don't take it!!!
Leeds United!
Nice take and turn from Kane. Earns a free kick for us in a dangerous position.
Harry Kaner and Abel to win a free kick as he's fouled from behind by Goretzka
Free kick chance for England....JWP to take....wait....forget it
What we wouldn't do to have Goldenballs for this free kick!
David and Ed looking on
Quick one into to Kane...cleared
Oh - Kane nearly in there for a header from the Trippier free kick. Corner.
Free kick from Trippier intended for Harry Kane headed out by Matt's Hummels for a corner
Corner cleared...again...too short of a cross
Corner from Trippioer headed away
Kal picks up a yellow card for a snappy challenge.
Phillips in the book...is that his second of the tourney?
Media trying to make more of it
Kal booked for a foul on Toni Kroos, who made the most of it. Will Var check for a red?
No it's a yellow
Into stoppage time
BLOODY HELL KANE!!!!
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
Oh - how did England not score there!
OH! long run by Sterling then Harry Kane with a tap in hersistated and was tackled. England should have scored
HT
BLOODY USELESS
Awful touch!!
It's 0-0 at the half and Harry Kane and should have been Abel to score.
Half-time arrives and this match is on a knife's edge. 0-0.
England had chances in that first half; I'm hopeful.
The second half is underway from Wembley
Definitely on a knife's edge. Could go either way
And we're away in the second half. Come on!
No changes as of yet.
Oh - what a save from Pickers as Havertz blasted toward goal.
OH! Pickford did well to tip over a powerful shot from Havertz from just outside the box after a cross was headed away. Corner cleared
SHOOT THE DAMN BALL STERLING!!!!
Nice run by Sterling, but useless in the box
Nice run by Sterling there - he looks to have the beating of Kimmich when he has the chance.
Croos from Kimmich into the box and Pickford just manages to push it away
Kane's gone down now and may need to come off.
Harry Kane dpown. Wonder if he will be abel to continue
Kane down..... DCL....not even on the subs' bench
Tractor Boys gets a mention!!
He's able to continue
Looks as if Kane will be okay to continue for now. Might need him for penalties.
Harry Kane and Abel to continue
Sterling....CLUELESS
Stones did really well to stand up to Werner.
BLOODY HELL! Long run by Sterling then tackled which leads to a German break and John Stone south a tackle for a German corner
Corner taken short and Kroos headed away
NOT ONE ENGLAND PLAYER 30 yards from the half way line!!!!!
I was wondering why Phillips didn't get it out right away!!
Saka nearly in there but Ginter got there.
Sara down off a tackle from Ginter. I t looked a fair tackle
Sanco warming up for England. The German players know him as he plays for Dortmund
The hour comes - probably some changes needed soon.
England can't even take a throw in fast or positive
STILL SO NEGATIVE
Cross from Sterling off a sustained possession straight to Neuer
Jack Grealish would be a great option off the bench
Big cheer comes up from the crowd with Grealish warming up.
Sterling fouled on the break and Kroos booked or is he?
I don't think he was warming up....he was sitting there and the shot came up on the screen
COME ON ENGLAND!!!!
Grealish is coming on.... so Gnabry....he likes to score in London
Applause as Grealish is about to come on
Long ball from Kyle Walker ran just too long for the Gunners saka player
Rashford was walking back to the dressing room
Gnabry on Werner
Grealish on for Saka
Sterling can do no wrong
Gnabry on for Werner while Jack Greliash on for the Gunners Saka player
Come on, Jack!
I hope Grealish isn't like the Philospher's sketch
Marx sprints on....then stops
I think that German change will make them more of a threat . As Dave mentioned Gnabry has a great scoring record in London which is not exactly encouraging
LOL, Dave! I agree. It sort of describes Sterling's performance
Phillips...so much space.... walks the ball!!!!
Gosens with a rash one there and he's into the book - lovely!
