HURRIKAAAAAAANE!!!!!!

It's still sinking in for me. I can't believe we actually beat Germany in a tournament, first time since 1966. Even at 2-0 up with 90 minutes gone, I thought Germany would sneak two late goals to take it to extra time.
Just hope England don't get ahead of themselves now, and that Southgate can keep them grounded so they're in a good state of mind for Saturday's next round match.

But that's all for the future, now, for me, is for celebrating Cheesy

Germany lost against England Shocked

For me it was no surprise!
This Germany is no longer as strong as it was a few years ago. This is at the end of a cycle. And only Portugal won, because Portugal didn't go into the game with the right attitude.

So I was hoping that England wins. And I think they will go far in the competition.

I agree with you, this is not a surprise... but I have to be honest and say that I expected more from Germany, they had to try harder and at least one goal.. I didn't see some effort and probably that's why they were not able to do anything!

Well, in 5 minutes we will watch Sweeden vs Ukraine! I have a few bets already, the first half draw and under 2.5, also in the first half! We will see how the game will start and I will add some more bets probably...

They have all the chances now being in the "easy" half of the tournament's bracket Cheesy

But I also think we'll see a few more surprises along to way to the final Grin

I do not think belgium and england wins were a surprised first of all belgium is the number one team in the fifa ranking wich means that they are strong they have good quality players and we all seen germany performance in this euro thats why i did not think they would go far in this championship.

I agree. Only the wins by Czechia and Switzerland can be considered as upset wins. Portugal was one of the tournament favorites. But their current team is more like a one man army led by Ronaldo. And England and Germany are more like equals, with recent performance giving an edge to England. Germany is the same team which suffered a humiliating defeat against North Macedonia a few months ago. And let's also not forget the fact that the match took place at the Wembley Stadium, which gave a massive advantage to England.

Germany - England - what a classic. Like Gary Lineker said ''Football is a simple game. Twenty-two men chase a ball for 90 minutes and at the end, the Germans always win.'' Though, I see that England a bit favoured by bookmakers, but I don't know why. In group stage England haven't showed anything special and I don't see reasons to hype them. Yes, Germany were unstable, but game with Portugal showed wha they can.
Sweden - Ukraine. It something incredible that Ukraine who qualified from 3rd place got their own level opponents, while Austria from 2nd place had to play against Italy. I'm backing Ukraine in this game.

congratulations on a well-deserved win today : and the Gary Lineker quote is now history. england deserved to win today. england wanted to force the win and finally succeeded.
and finally Harry Kane scored a goal. the english fans were already desperate why harry doesn't score anymore.
but today was the day. Finally a goal. i think Harry Kane is also enormously relieved today.

There teams that normally, you we didn't see them leaving the competition at this stage but, they just keep following suit to leave the contest. Teams like France, Portugal, Netherlands, Germany, oh! These are teams that one can easily predict to be the winner for the Euros at any point but shockingly, thyley are way off the competition for this season. France most of all yesterday was the least expected team to go out. You can easily imagine Spain being eliminated, they were even on there way to being eliminated by Croatia yesterday until they stepped up in the extra time but France, France was the least expected and Mbappe is the last person you would expect to bring about this fall. Sadly, Yann Sommer was at his best and bested Kylan Mbappe yesterday.

We watched two great games yesterday. They had even the same exact scoring pattern. Cheesy

After two delightful games, England - Germany game was a little bit below my expectations.

I was expecting England to win with one goal difference against Germany. So their victory didn't surprise me honestly. But I'd expect way better from Germany in this game. They were not the best in their group. But I thought that they'd try to play better here. As they weren't good enough it wasn't too hard for England to beat them. When the score was 1-0, Germany had a big goal chance with Muller. But it was a narrow miss unfortunately. And England finished the job by finding the second goal.

Absolute shock and a big surprise. Can't accept that groups like Germany, France, Portugal and Netherlands are actually out of the game. That really shows how football is changing. The narrative of big teams is slowly fading. No big nation's now anymore but England and Belgium are just strong teams.

I thought they were unlucky with the round of 16 draw but it appears they are lucky now after dispatching Germany.

I think they will face Sweden next. They are not as tough as Germany on paper but they are still a dangerous team.

Wait, the match between Sweden and Ukraine is not yet passed, maybe Ukraine will beat Sweden and go to a pair with England. But in this case, England will probably be even more fortunate, since Ukraine has always played very badly with England. Half an hour is left before the match, we will soon find out the winner in the Sweden - Ukraine pair. I have a feeling that Ukraine can defeat Sweden.

England did their job perfectly today throughout the game. Only 1 mistake almost made Germany managed to score a goal, but fortunately Mueller's shot missed the target. Previously I only thought that England would only succeed with 1 goal, but they can do more. Obviously it's a tough game for Germany while I'm quite satisfied with England's maximum performance today. Cheers.

Congrats to England for there win about Germany , it was well deserved as the strategy from Löw havnt done anything.
Müller was unlucky to get the Germans the draw that maybe changed all and the game , guess it was the last match from him without an scored goal in a EM.
Hopefully with Hansi Flick we will getting again better with the national Team Germany.

Edit: England is actually at the softer side of the bracket. Cheesy

100% true and they should be able to reach Final easier than other team due to the lucky draw of the play off bracket.
But we can be so sure since there are Czech and Denmark, one of them will be a tough opponent in Semi-Finals if England win against Sweden/Ukraine in Quarter-Finals.

What a defeat for Germany: it looks me that Low cycle and that of his players can be called over. The young generation of English players have destroyed the old German panzer. It was about time, Germany needs to rethink its strategy for the future if they are to become again the old war machine.
England is now a serious candidate for the title, considering also that the final is going to happen in London, Wembley.

Germany needs a regeneration for the squad obviously, they need to give more chances to their young potential players.
They need to find some young players to replace Kroos, Neuer, Muller, Hummels and other players who are above 30 years old.

Bye Low. A nice coach, made many achievements with Germany but he made mistakes too like any other coach.
Dunno if pushing Gnabry and Sane sooner in the game could change something. What about Gundogan? Overall, Germany this year was quite different than what we used to know, the actual team needs more maturation before challenging other big teams.
1 hour left before Sweden - Ukraine game.

Even the group stage showed the weakness of the German national team, unfortunately they could not change to the playoff stage and at least show an interesting fight like yesterday's pairs. Most likely now this command will be seriously reformatted.
At the moment in the championship we see the collapse of many favorites and to be honest, it makes me happy, today I will root for Ukraine, although I also really like the Swedish national team.

Don't worry about it. It won't take long before they can rebuild their squad. They are not short of young talents.

England vs. Germany was still an entertaining match despite the lack of goals compared to yesterday's matches. It's unusual to see Germany miss so many chances.

This should be over now with the three lions up by two goals. Conceding another goal is the risk if you're desperate for that equalizer.

It’s def done! It’s gonna take a miracle to get Germany out of the rut. Lol.

So England gets the winner of Sweden vs Ukraine next which is going to be played in an hour or so. That should be one of the more easier match ups for them.
