Can the pessimists (most of the people on these boards) summon up the ability to admit that England played quite well today?
I'm proud of the side, they were a transformed outfit. They all looked passionate and hungry for the ball. Most of the top sides have had a rocky road up till now, so who knows what will happen next?
I can see no reason why they shouldn't beat a very average German side.
Unlike Germany we haven't lost, and only conceded 1 goal, to a freak Rob Green OG.
If we play like we did today, and Rooney is fit, I think we will win.
I think we have a better chance of beating Germany than Ghana to be honest. At least we know more about the Germans. ie - well organised / not much skill or flair / like a top 10 premiorship team maybe - no better.
Ghana are a more unpredictable outfit.
I'm glad we're playing the Germans. Better the devil you know - especially as this is the worst German side I can remember.
