Great way to win a game against your bitter rivals. We look fluid, organised and keen to move the ball forward quickly. Got some very exciting young players coming through, and Alli has the potential to be a phenomenal talent.

agreed

Great start against the krauts and hopefully a taste of what's to come.. roll on June!

If that doesn't underline that the likes of Rooney and Sterling shouldn't be anywhere near the starting 11, I don't know what does.

Question is, will Hodgson have the balls to do the required.

Thought we were pretty poor in the first half but we were excellent for the last 30 minutes of the game. Pressed harder and gave Kroos far less time on the ball, committed more players forward and constantly looked to get players in to the box and cause the German defence problems.

Not watched a lot of Alli this season but he was outstanding. Same can't be said for Reus and Muller who were anonymous.

Rybo89 · 26 Mar 2016 at 21:48

Sterling? Only me who thinks he's good then?

MissChief · 26 Mar 2016 at 21:48

Seems to me that Alli, Dier, Kane and Vardy had more endeavour, pace and intent than the rest of the team combined. They must go and Roy must be brave and play Kane and Vardy in the next two friendlies at least.

Classy performance from England, is the hopeless optimism before another tournament building?

robfosters · 26 Mar 2016 at 21:49

Cue the mass hysteria now. We're gonna win the Euro's, the World Cup, the interplanetary championships and anything else we can enter.

Walcott, rooney, sterling and oxlade should not even get a look in for the squad let alone the team however i would bet hodgson will still start with them.

Add Delph to that list too, he's had some shocking England games

haha, I'm trying to work out if he's way behind or a couple of minutes ahead.... watching itv online. Such a pain how far behind legal streams seem to be. BT is miles behind, SkyGo is miles behind, I have no idea how far behind ITV is.

No I was watching it live lol. Was busy spuffing over the goal on facebook first

Germany are a tournement team through and through - havent been on song since the WC (as can be seen from Euro qualifying etc)

England were also lucky to have Germany's 1st goal discounted when he was clearly onside.

Saying that England were pretty good (and even better once Welbeck went off) and fully deserved at least a draw.

No doubt the press will go crazy and completely over exaggerate the meaning of the result

Who were the England fans singing about? It was the Ozil/Payet song that Arsenal/west ham sing.

Mr Jack · 26 Mar 2016 at 21:50

I don't think I've ever seen England play so well against quality opposition. Amazing comeback but we played the better football all the way through.

We do this in the run up to every tournament coz we know we won't have much to celebrate once we get there

abbviper · 26 Mar 2016 at 21:51

i hope the interplanetary cup is on sky, i dont want to miss us winning it.

Its only a friendly

Yep, this will never happen in a match that actually means something. England will just crumble under pressure

i know it was only a friendly but as fans, we want this kind of performance and attitude. rooney has no place in this team.

Did we all just enjoy an England game?
