Even though its fairly obvious that Goretzka with his stronger defense and consequent bevaviour to run into the penalty area fits much better than dinosaurs Gündogan and Kroos right?

And Musiala is just straight more talented than Sane. No idea why he is getting the bench treatment over Sane.

Respect to Hungary.
They played it well.

Adam Szalai with a legendary performance given his limited abilities.

Southgate just needs to be smart enough to line up Sancho, Rashford and Foden.

We are going to run exactly as dumb into a wall like we did against France and Hungary today and you can counter attack all game long.

After all the criticism, I think this may be the time Southgate decides to go on an all-attack mode against an underwhelming German side to prove a point, only to get destroyed in a similar fashion to Portugal.

Might feel pressured due to the home game at Wembley.

Concentrate on defending well and England will advance. Its England‘s game to lose given German ancient dinosaur midfield.

Man, I'm heartbroken that Germany scored an equalizer at the 85th minute. I was rooting for Hungary to advance and they were so, so close. Only 5 minutes away :(

Some delicious matchups in first round and some boring ones ( anybody interested in Sweden Ukraine game? ). Belgium - Portugal is a must see. England- Germany may not be for soccer purists but I feel it will have it is own flare. I see Croatia-Spain going to penalties. I think only France and Italy are clear favorites to advance so far. Anything else can go either way.

I´m still amazed that Löw got another shot at this after 2018. Don´t wanna hear a another word about that germans don´t have a sense of humour.

He will rely on the counter even more.
