They really get worked up for the Netherlands though.

Sounds like you would enjoy Football Against the Enemy.

Apparently the Germans don't put as much stock in the England rivalry as the English do

Just don't mention the war! Without trying to Godwin this thread, one English football chant in the fairly recent past has been '2 world wars, 1 world cup' – the English obviously only count…

Dear Lord, what a game!

Oddly enough, thought that was the best performance from England in the tournament (granted off a very low base)

They played good patient possession football and created more chances in this game than in their previous three.

That said, the section in their scouts report…

Even a cross-bar travesty that will have German hearts round the world singing, a wrong finally righted in their eyes.

69 min: England's four defenders make it back to their area.

You have to laugh really. Terry was appalling in defence.
You also have to laugh at this

Golden generation? Maybe for their clubs, but for England? Two Quarter final exits, one second round, and failing to qualify for…

You have to love this from the Guardian minute-by-minunte:

67 min: THIS COULD BE IT FOR ENGLAND. Germany 3-1 England. The ball having bounced off the wall, four German players stream upfield, no red shirts bothering to chase back and help. Down the inside left,…

Even a cross-bar travesty that will have German hearts round the world singing, a wrong finally righted in their eyes.

As for that German side, wow! I watched the Spain-Germany Euro Championship final while holidaying in Liguria…

History? I vaguely recall France and Italy being good teams last time, doesn't seem to mean a damn thing in 2010.

Perhaps, but consider that since 1970 only six teams have made the final: Brazil, Italy, Germany, the Netherlands, Argentina and France. Two of them are out, but that's not…
