I've backed Germany since the start, well since the last World Cup.

I think its 6 of this team were playing together in the under 21 side and some of those in the under 17s.

This is where England fuck up massively when we throw squads together at the last minute and wonder why they haven't gelled yet and throw our top kids straight into the senior team without grounding them first like the Germans do so well


Look back at Mexico 86 and Italia 90 and the core was the same players give or take a few and you could name the starting 11 with ease.

We did well in both those and only bad luck and shit penalties stopped us.

Even Euro 96 we did well again with some of the same players as italia 90.

England are a fucking embarressment at present and have been for years now.
