I'd swap Grealish for Saka. Split up Kane and Sterling and have Grealish play/float as a false 9, interchanging with Sterling and Kane.

The width is provided by Trippier and Shaw.

The distance between the center forward most player (i.e. Kane), is way too far from Rice or Phillips, plus there are lines/bodies of German players.

Ooff, heavy touch by Kane through goal.

Neither team can take control of the game because the midfields are so average.

Neither Rice nor Philips are good enough for this level.

Feel we have grown into the game but we're lacking a cutting edge.

England have been the better team and are winning the physical battle but I have a feeling Germany will get one of those passes through the defence.
