By the way, what a class act Jurgen Klinsmann is. Totally magnanimous in defeat.

Yes indeed. Which reminds me.
The Noo Noo is back to 3/1 on. What happened? I though he was off to Turkey? And Potter is back in at second favourite.
Juergen the German steady at 14/1.

I thought the Germans had more of the ball but struggled to find a way through the English defence. When they did, they didnt tale the chances.
England though when they got the ball looked more likely to (and did) score (twice !!)
Keeps the interest going for all of us until the weekend at least

It is always slim margins. 2-0 flatters England. We could have easily lost that.
But that is a cup competition, if luck shines on you.....

I’ve reached a level of footballing despair where I quite enjoyed this headline

So if Sterling or Kane don't do what they're in the team to do they're failures but we were just lucky that Muller didn't do his thing because he usually would so fluked the win? Isn't that the measure of a great player or team: to perform when it matters?
Am I the only one that wonders how those other nations look at England as an opponent? Are they hoping we change our style and go more attacking too? Do they see Southgate as a bit tactically inept? A bit of a stiff promoted beyond his talent level?
I suspect we're looked on a bit more favourably than the doom-and-gloom merchants here would have it.
