Indeed and a wank manager. Germany aren’t overly enamoured with theirs either to be fair. More to do with his scratching his ring and sniffing his fingers I think its a national embarrassment. Then again I don't think Germans do embarrassment!

This side of the draw is a perfect opportunity to reach a final... If we get past ze germans I agree.

Bore draw then out on penalties? Probably. Both sides to advance no further than an asthmatic ant with some heavy shopping.

This side of the draw is a perfect opportunity to reach a final... For Germany, who despite being a bit crap will casually stroll to another final via an agonising (for us) but actually quite comfortable (for them) second-round win… 🙄

This side of the draw is a perfect opportunity to reach a final... To be fair the Dutch and Danes been far better than England so far, Sweden also. Certainly the weaker side of the draw though.

We're capable but can't see it happening.

Warm up the Spitfires! And don't misquote me, this has nothing to do with that song.

This side of the draw is a perfect opportunity to reach a final... Here we go again, just scrambled out of the group and we are talking about finals and winning it Bob Hope and no hope of making it past Germany it is like a tier 2/3 team beating a premiership team, all we can hope for is that we don't embarrass ourselves. I think it has escaped some people's notice - that we are not very good.

I think it has escaped some people's notice - that we are not very good. We won the group comfortably without conceding a goal, and our team is clearly on a par with Germany’s at the moment. I don’t particularly feel we’ll win either (just naturally pessimistic about England) but there’s no need to resort to daft hyperbole like we’re “3rd tier” compared to them.

I'm not confident about this.
To be on the safe side, I'll park the Volkswagen in the garage and hang the lederhosen in the wardrobe.
Last time they knocked us out it was carnage around Wolstanton.

Loew has said if Germany repeat the same mistakes v England they'll get knocked out.
Sounds familiar!

The draw has opened up for whoever wins it. Either England or Germany will get to the final. Topping the group has potentially been a godsend following all the worry of it happening Cmon England Never ever got the worry. Granted the last 16 was going to be one of the 3, although Hungary deserve great credit. Those who were clamouring for 2nd spot just fell into the trap that it could be Sweden. They forgot the small matter of France in the last 8 and then Belgium or Italy in the Semi. Winning the group was always the best option despite a tricky last 16 tie. To me might as well go out last 16 as last 8 so it was a lazy argument which people got suckered into.

Not too sure about this one. When was the last time we beat a higher ranked team in the knockout stages in a big tournament?

We're capable but can't see it happening. I'm just glad we got out of the group and at least get the chance to have a go. 🙂

nothing to fear for Germany Neither team should be afraid of the other. It should be a good game. Neither team is going to win the tournament but the draw will open up for them if they can beat the other. I don't think this Germany side has better players than us, I just hope we don't have a mental block when it comes to playing big sides in major tournaments or that Gareth doesn't panic with one of his stupid subs. But this Germany side is eminently beatable.
