The annoying thing is that Germany have nothing to lose by conceding any more. They could lose 100-0 and they'd still finish above Portugal if Portugal lose. So they can afford to chuck everything at Hungary.
Actually, I take that back. They could lose out to Finland. But they can still afford to concede two more first.
Oh absolutely. But that doesn't have any relevance to the size of a German loss. Germany have nothing to gain by "holding onto" a 1-0 defeat. They can afford to risk conceding in pursuit of an equaliser.
Unfortunately England can't play Hungary without Portugal going out. And with a £200 jackpot at my work sweepstake, I want Portugal through.
