I didn’t even know we had a game

not a lot to write about with the Germans
 
Best I could do at short notice.

Germany has 1,500 different types of beer, 300 types of bread and 1,000 types of sausage.

In the state of Bavaria, beer is actually considered a food.

More than 800 million currywurst sausages are eaten every year in Germany.

The sweet maker, Haribo, runs a scheme where local children can exchange acorns for sweets. Their acorns then get sent to nature reserves to feed animals.

There are 35 different dialects of the German language. Because there are so many different dialects in Germany, people may have problems understanding those from different regions - some regional films even have to be shown with subtitles.

The first book ever printed was in German, and the first magazine was launched in Germany in 1663.

More people go to exhibitions than to football matches in Germany.

Germany has the world’s narrowest street in the city of Reutlingen. Called “Spreuerhofstrasse,” the street is approximately one foot wide at the narrowest point, and nearly twenty inches wide at the widest.

Escaping prison in Germany isn’t illegal because it’s a basic human instinct to want to be free.

According to German law, a person’s gender must be obvious by first name.

The government pays for sex for the disabled.

The city of Boon has established roadside vending machines where prostitutes have to buy a ticket to work. Without one, they could get fined or banned by police.

Germany was the first country in the world to implement Daylight Saving Time (DST) or summer time.

The capital city of modern Germany has changed seven times

College is free for everyone (even non-Germans)

Prostitution is legal.

The world’s tallest cathedral is in Ulm.

Several things inextricably linked with our daily lives were invented in Germany, including the x-ray machine (by Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen in 1895), the pocket watch, clarinet, gummy bears, cuckoo clock, diesel engine, paraffin, automated calculator, aspirin, fluorescent lamp, telephone, Fanta, LCD screen and the pregnancy test.

It’s illegal to run out of fuel on highways.

German law states that Sundays are a day of rest and silence. Neighbours are expected to keep quiet, and all grocery and other retail stores are closed.

The Christmas tree (Tannenbaum) tradition came from Germany.

The Weihenstephaner Brewery just north of Munich has been operating since 1040, making it the world’s oldest brewery.

And if you want to know why the Germans don't know the proper name for their own Country, and the Spanish call it something else again, read here...https://viatravelers.com/why-do-we-call-germany-germany/

Very short notice, the group draw was only made in December. :emoticon-0100-smile
 
Like the way the ref is keeping the game moving and not blowing up for every tiny contact.
 
Hectic, lacking composure, and I think the only tactic we seem to have is give it Pickford to lump it up field ! Only one team looked likely to score in that first half and it wasn't us
