Same thing happened in the cricket World Cup as well. Love it.It's incredible how that song has managed to annoy so many throughout the years

England will destroy Germany.
I said and why not, like why shouldn’t you sing it and believe and not think it’s irony. Maybe I didn’t write it well enough but fecking touchy be jeezed.
Exactly why AWB should have been in the squad, he won't get bullied.
In Churchill's voice.
Like Neville alluded to, England isn't capable of 'dominating' games like this because of their negative attitude and negative management. That pragmatism has been ingrained over many years and will be hard to reverse. Germany has disappointed at the last WC and recently but they know what it's like to win these games, they've been there and done it. That sort of experience will help see them past us.
I thought it was concerning that before the tournament had one of the youngest squads in the competition that around 60% of them had never played in a major international tournament before. In big knockout games like this one experience is vital. I just don't think we have enough of it and enough 'winners'
The one game where Werner will find his scoring boots.
Don't know which Germany is going to show up against England: the ones that beat Portugal with some class or the ones who just about got a draw against a fairly decent and spirited Hungary.
Even though England beat Croatia fairly easily in the group stage a constant theme in the past decade or so has been an English midfield getting dominated by a top midfielder(s) in a tournament and then crashing out;

- Germany and Ozil/Schweinsteiger in '10,
- Italy and Pirlo in 12 and 14
- Modric and co in 2018
I get what you’re saying, but this 17 year old has played a full season for Dortmund including a run in the CL. At no point has he looked awed or out of place. Feels like alongside Rice it could give us a lot more quality overall.
It’s not the song. It’s the people singing it.It's incredible how that song has managed to annoy so many throughout the years
I dunno, we've seen him struggle with his positioning quite a few times. Maybe in a couple of years he'll be tighter, but right now I don't think he gets in on merit.
Actually if Hungary had won that game, Portugal would be heading to Wembley.Imagine Hungary had beaten Germany. Our bracket would be so easy
I’m not hopeful whatsoever of us getting past Germany to be honest. But you never know.
There is no chance Southgate starts Bellingham.
So English people...
If we get past Germany the draw is wide fecking open.
It’s brilliant. Most people know it’s self deprecating and taking the piss - but when people don’t, I love it.It's incredible how that song has managed to annoy so many throughout the years
Usually.
Rice and Phillips now without any doubt.
100%.
Maybe Bellingham would be the better option but there's just no chance Southgate takes a gamble like that.
He's not that sort of manager
Nothing wrong with the English. Decent bunch
No fair enough.
All goodI like a good England Germany game, I was happy it fell like that. Looking forward to it.
I like Frank Skinner!
Tactically should be interesting. Southgate should go to the back 5 for this match.
It wasn’t annoying. Therefore proving the point that it’s not the song that’s annoying.what about when the Germans sung it?
bless you and your casual stereotyping.
I think we can all name the lineup right now. Pickford-Walker-Stones-Maguire-Shaw-Rice-Phillips-Sterling-Mount-Foden-Kane
That or a back 3
So do I actually. Ian Brodie was the problem.
I already feel sick.

If we can get over our massive inferiority complex with Germany then we can win. But I can't ever be confident against Germany.
Fancy you against Denmark though. Definitely.
All England fans.
And what delightful country are you from?
Northern Ireland. Northern Ireland fans are cnuts too if that’s where you’re going.
David Baddiel is alright, too! He was terrible on taskmaster, though.
Massive game for us next week. I think we should be able to win, but given the history I'm not confident at all.

How experienced is this German side though? Isn't this the first tournament for Gnabry, Havertz and Gosens?
You sound a bit of a baby to be honest
I don’t think you understand what that word means. Just like when you threw in stereotyping for some reason.
You sound a little stupid.
