Bugger.. We can still file Algeria alongside all the other teams that would destroy England though..

Totally agree, the difference between teams like Algeria, Columbia etc and us is that they play with purpose and intent and we just pass it about and hope for the best.

So annoyed with myself, ended up on paddy power and went for 3-1 to ze Germans, got swept up in the German hype as I was going to go for 0-0 at 25-1...

I still think the Germans have a massive chance. Need to tinker though. Lahm needs to play right back, he still influences games from there. Fantastic squad with the likes of Draxler still hasn't had a kick.

The lack of balance to the team has definitely been a problem. Wouldn't mind seeing Draxler play instead of Ozil.

Perhaps soon we can leave the outdated African goalkeeper stereotypes behind.

They're only very recently outdated, though, and we're seeing the best here. Do you remember that maniac Kameni, who could be absolutely fantastic on his day, but made Gomes look like Mr Calm?
