Match Day Thread England v Germany

[Red top reader]

I wonder if both Sancho and Bellingham will be let loose...

Probably not or if they are it may be too late by then. I honestly think Kane is the weak link at the moment, absolute shadow of the player we’ve been use to seeing. Even my local Chinese take away owner told me… Kane must not play, he rubbish.. tooo slow… lol. Everyone has got an opinion!!!!

I think Kane is carrying an injury. He's obviously not rubbish, we've all seen that. If so he should be dropped.

It's a shame for him, these tournaments don't come around so often, but it is what it is.

We need fit hungry players out there.

See now he'll bag a hat and you can all call me ****

Or as that well-known football pundit Robbie Robertson once said,

You can't raise a Kane back up
When he's in defeat

Hasn't he just returned from injury? I wondered if he wasn't match fit? Maybe the only solution is to keep playing him, as we won't win the tournament without him?

A lot of experts are predicting we will go three at the back tonight, with the two full backs now in midfield alongside two holding midfielders. Basically to stop their wingbacks playing. If Kane plays, just leaves two of Foden, Saka, Mount, Grealish, Rashford, Sterling, Sancho. That's going to upset a lot of supporters who thought even the current system didnt allow enough of our flair players in. I wish now we are in the knockouts, he looked at where we can hurt them rather than worry too much about the opposition. Having said that, its a squad game these days, I see nothing wrong with a cautious start but adapt as the game pans out.

I dint think he's enhanced his value during this tournament.... maybe made on for two clubs who might have been interested think twice...

Worked briefly in the Fatherland.

One of the weirdest things there is their total obedience at pelican or zebra crossings even in the small hours of the morning when the roads are deserted.

They go nuts if you cross even if the road is ****ing empty of traffic

As a young lad in the early 70s hitch hiked around Europe got a lift in Germany with a truck driver went to the factory canteen as the buzzer went for the end of the break everyone got up in unison.
Went to Mannheim they were filming Jeux sans Frontieres and managed to get back to the hotel where they contestants were staying , can’t remember much but the Belgian girl was nice!
Happy days
1-0 RogerHunt

These are great podcasts if you want to learn about the culture and history of the collective of states which codified into modern Germany, explored in fifteen minute chunks, each one focusing around a different building, object or work of art.


https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04dwbwz/episodes/downloads


Goerte, Gutenberg, Kant, Durer, Luther, Casper David Friedrich, Nick Proschwitz.


It covers all the cultural greats to be honest.

I’m a fan of Norman Foster’s architecture and the newly modelled Reichstag is a very good example


It’ll be 0-0 at full time and we’ll lose 0-1 in extra time

 

[amberman8]

I think 2/1 for a Germany win is a massive price.....but won't be backing them lol

Got a free £5 bet on Betfred so put it on an England 2-1 win @ 9/1.

Oh go then

Kane is working his way back to match sharpness and I suspect all the speculation over his future isn't helping .. but like all strikers just needs one to get off and running then he'll be back. Got to stick with him and give him the service he needs.

I visited the Reichstag a few years ago; it's a good tour.

One where the headset picks up where you are and plays the right piece of commentary at the right time. That always impresses me.


I'm easily impressed though.


I remember when spiralling round the glass domey bit the commentary said that Foster designed the additions to the building so that anyone can look down into the debating chamber of the Bundestag and see everything that is going on.

Never again will German politics be conducted in a clandestine manner. We all know where that ended up.


I love a bit of architecturally designed symbolism, me.

 

[Howdentiger2]

OK.. anyone else got pre match nerves yet ? After watching the France v Swiss game can't wait for it .. it'll be tortuous you just know it .. but c'mon ENGERRRLAND !

I did, but slightly tispy already and on my way to the stadium.... All of a sudden I think we'll smash them haha

 

[Baldrick's Cunning Plan]

I can see this as a 1-0 after extra time. The problem is I'm not sure on the winner.

Same here, I've been round the Reichstag, I remember the preserved Russian soldiers graffiti in the basement.

I said it yesterday, double 0-0, but was 10000000000000000% wrong!
So today I really do fancy both games to be drab goalless or at the best low scoring.
I’m at work at 8pm, been up since 10am, a bit wired for the England game, no alcohol tonight, I just hope we don’t disappoint as usual.
I think Germany will go through overall, but I’m 10000000000000% behind England tonight.
Time to get ready for work.

Cry Havoc and Release the 3 Lions of WAR!

The past counts for nothing. Today we go forth and smash them. No quarter given, no respite, no prisoners.

Today England expects every player to do his duty, to win and win big.

This is the first step on the road to the final and it's time to make the rest of the teams quake in their boots!

COME ON ENGLAND!
