Playing well after twenty five mins, 0 - 1 come on England, it would be great to beat them again.

Anyone think Carlson will ever play for England again?

Same old story. Miss an open goal and you can guarantee the opposition will score two minutes later.

I didn't think he would after he got us knocked out of the Euros, but here he is.

Sat down, turned the tele on. Shit - David Pleat's on it. feck this off then, I'm off to Sainsbury's instead. Groceried-up, halfway-home with the radio on when who should ruck up to the mic but Alan 'dess es wowferl' Green. On with a CD instead and home just in time to see Terry's goal.

Thought we played alright. For the first time in my lifetime I saw an England team
who could pass to each other and looked fairly comfortable in possession. Can't wait to see Gerrard return
with his 70-yard Hollywood balls into the crowd.

Biggest plus for me tonight was the committment. The passing was a bit sloppy at times and Germany are always dangerous. Fortunately, we defended well. SWP had a really good game and was very unlucky with the one that hit the post/bar. Bent had a "Ricardo" moment and the slip wasn't a fault, just bad luck.( Not as Sky Sports reportd from tripping over his own feet). Schweinsteiger was brilliant for the opposition.

A moment of madness of the Paul Robinson variety nearly threw it way but beating the Germans in Berlin is no small triumph. All in all, a good night.

good match

downing, SWP, Carrick, Barry... 4 reserve midfielders all top drawer really

bit toothless up top but Gabby, Bent and Defoe are all adequate enough

enjoyed a friendly

Still, its no 2-2 a the Allianz with Gerald Cid and Lubomir Michalik at centre half is it

Just when it should of been 0-2 it ends up 1-1 what was he doing trying to pick up fresh air,no way should terry be blamed, i think carson could of played his last game for England. It was so good beating the Germans again, even if we did play in red.

Good game. Very impressed with Agbonlahor, Downing and SWP, though the latter two were a bit hit and miss with their delivery.

Good on JT for owning up, though I guess it's a bit easier to do when you've scored the winner ey?

Good to see us pressuring the Germans when they have possession, Carrick was immense.

I wonder if there will ever be a Germany match played, where the commentator doesn't say "Write off the Germans at your peril"

Or "German efficiency". What worries me is that England may just have a manager who knows his own mind and doesn't kow-tow to the media. Test will come when he loses one, i suppose

The real test will come when the News of the World run the story about him secretly knocking off a couple of dolly birds.
