Germany 4-1 England (Last 16) 27th June 3pm

Interesting stat:

England haven't beaten Germany in a MAJOR competition since 1966.

So is the time right??

Germany will beat the crap out of england



No seriously, i think germany will win this game. We have our weaknesses in our defence, but one or two lucky shots from Özil or Podolski and a blunder from the English keeper will decide which team will win.

"Football is a simple game; 22 men chase a ball for 90 minutes, and at the end the Germans always win"
"Fußball ist ein Spiel, bei dem 22 Spieler hinter einem Ball herjagen und am Ende gewinnt immer Deutschland."

England have to beat Germany at some stage. They still need to improve a lot from yesterday's game as this will
be the first decent team they will face. They should have more confidence going into the game and need to play without
fear.

Ah, a very interesting fixture.

England will have more confidence because they won last night and I understand it was a very much improved performance compared to the previous two games.

On the other hand, Germany have always been a good football team, IMO. They usually go far in competitions.

Would be very interesting to see how Gerrard & Co. come up  against the likes of Muller, Ozil and Podolski.

Man for man, England's team is far stronger. It's whether they can finally start to play well as a team that worries me.

Yea starting with your keeper who wouldnt even be in the Top 15 on German side.

But thats not the point. Germany can only win, if they play as a team and if they will fight for each other. I think both are even. It will be an interesting match!

My granddad says we have a good record against the Germans in Africa. Not sure he is talking about football though

This World Cup is working out like WW2 -
France have forfeited,
the USA turned up late,
and England are left to fight the Germans!

I hope the result  will change

Mark my words, its gonna be a cracker.
Germany to come out on top though.

Can't wait for England to shut Beckenbauer up. Had enough of his comments now.

Germany have been better than us this tournament for sure but in the knockout stages everyone is even again. And England are due one over Germany!

Going for a win on penalties to England.

Not for me. I'd take Neuer over James, Lahm over Johnson, Schweinsteiger/Khedira over Barry.

Both sides have chances here. Germany have only been impressive against a lesser side. England haven't really been impressive yet at all. But teams can grow into the tournament, and it's do or die in the KO stages, completely different mindset.

And Slovenia got to Moscow!

Will be and interesting match. If England doesn't sort out they're problems, they will be fu**ed.

Depends which Germany turn up.

The ones who looked effortless in their first game or the ones that appeared in the next two games.

If England play to their best they will give Germany a game.  Although if somebody held a gun to my head and told me I had to put my life savings on a winner - I'd probably have to say Germany right now.

England were cut open a couple of times by Slovenia.  Germany are going to be much better at that.

In a way I am pleased we face germany, the possibility of going out to ghana would not sit well if it were to be our final curtain.

I think the mindset of the players will be better, they will be very passionate about beating the old enemy, but they wont be thinking we are a superior team, and it would be an embarrassment to lose.

If only Rooney and Lampard can step up and raise their games, we are in with a shout of going further.

Germany.

Better keeper, better fullbacks, better midfield, better strikers.

You could use this for England against Algeria & the USA and Germany against Slovakia so whats your point?

This will be decided in penalties. Germany will win

Wasn't it Serbia who beat the Krauts, not Slovakia?

If we - England - get the first goal we can win it.

We are better at defending the lead than we are at chasing from behind.

England 2-1.

Wasn't it Serbia who beat the Krauts, not Slovakia?

Yes your right I just checked but you get my point.

That England are sh*t? Yeah I got that.
