Been reflecting on that 95th minute goal. I never once doubted that Germany would win. Their collective national footballing ability to insist on NOT underachieving is quite breathtaking to behold. We regularly underachieve. Germany NEVER do. You never ever come away from a tournament saying, “Phew, that was a surprise, Germany going out so soon.”My kids are 11 and 10. When that free kick was given, they were bouncing round the room saying, “No! THIS is it! They WILL score.”Welcome to another 80 years of that, lads.
I hate to put a downer on things but you DO realise that the last time Germany got knocked out in the group stage, a world war started within 18 months.
Imagine what sort of game it will be if England decide to want to finish second as well.
