We might be getting optimistic based on tonights German performance, but the problem is we have not played as well as Hungary throughout the group stages.
 
Can't see anything but a Germany win. Our media will hype it up to fever pitch from now till the game. There'll be loads of talk from Sterling etc and then during the game we'll freeze and do fuck all. Germany won't put a foot wrong.

this is exactly how i see it aswel

it'll hyped to saturation point, endless replays of past defeats and blitz spirit references, foden etc.. cast as the dads army heroes, the whole country whipped into a frenzy that i'll admit to getting washed away with, and as soon as kick off comes, it'll be flat as a fart and our special players will freeze with the pressure.

meanwhile the germans will efficiently cast themselves as underdogs and underplay the importance of it, and play it cool while we panic
 
It's more like Boro v Sunderland and the Germans are SAFC. They don't hate us at all imo. It's one way. They hate the Dutch and French far more.
Yup. We mainly have the rivalry we do with them cos we always lose to them on big occasions.

We're just another team they beat on the way to win things, why would they give a shit? They've had ample success since '66 to be bothered by that.

I'm already watching the Dambusters.
 
England, better recent record and at home. Whilst no pushover, it’s the best outcome of the 3 we could have faced (prior to Hungary nearly upsetting the applecart)
 
Germany have been an average international team since they won the World Cup.

much rather be playing them than France or Portugal

I’d make us favourites, we can defend, they can’t.
England are indeed slight favourites. I imagine if it was played in Germany it would be the other way round.
 
The one advantage Germany have is history . We are the higher ranked team , have better players and are at home in front of 40000 fans . We are quite rightly favorites but as they seem to have some sort of Indian sign over us , I’d say it was a 50/50 game .
 
Don't think Germany have been owt flash either this tournament.. Could of easily lost to Portugal the other day.

Be an interesting game.
I felt they were all over Portugal like a cheap suit. Mind I only saw highlights. Havertz and Gosens were especially lively

They do better at Wembo than us.
