The good news is that England overturned a two-goal deficit team to lead 3-2. The bad news was Harry Maguire and Nick Pope. twoht on ENGGER
Well, at least they entertained us. The next time we see England, they’ll be taking to the pitch for their first World Cup group match against Iran, but what are we to make of them, at this point? Well, England finally woke themselves up after their lengthy goal drought and, with the right wind behind them they can still look like a world class team, but at the end of an evening that confounded every expectation at every turn they still didn’t win, and that now makes six in a row.
But this level of self-infliction isn’t limited to Maguire alone. Germany’s best chance of the first half came when John Stones played a backpass to Nick Pope which almost caught the England goalkeeper out. And otherwise, the most notable moment of a plodding first 45 came when Stones twanged his hamstring under no challenge whatsoever, which resulted in him having to be withdrawn.
Losing to Hungary in Leipzig had been an outlier of a result for Germany, who’d previously gone unbeaten since losing to England in the second round of Euro 2020. The Hungary defeat loaded this game with as little jeopardy for them as it had for their already-relegated hosts, meaning that this was a match from the friendlier end of the competitive spectrum.
The first half didn’t tell us a great deal about either team. England managed one five minute burst midway through, when it looked for all the world as though they might score. A beautiful curling pass put Raheem Sterling through, but his shot was saved by ter Stegen. A minute later, Phil Foden pulled the ball back a yard behind Harry Kane. A couple of minutes after this, Kane attempted a volley from an angle, but it sailed a couple of feet beyond the far post.
