It's The Old Foe...

Evening,

So we are some 65 hours away from the biggest match for English football since the last biggest match. Of course, the fact that it is our cuddly friends that gave you Vorspung Dus Technik probably makes the situation slightly easier for Capello's boys than say Ghana - on the premise that any game against Germany is automatically going to gee the players up 10 times more than a match against the Black Stars.

Inevitably, everything that has been written by the rags in the previous 96 hours before yesterday's afternoon game has been forgotten - England's Brave John Terry is being seen as some kind of hero by the media - yep, the same media who was ridiculing him some 24 hours beforehand. Wonderful.

I do wonder just how far England are going to go in this tournament - Germany are not the experienced team that they have been in previous tournament - perhaps with the likes of Ozil, Khedira and Schweinsteiger they may play without fear. That could be exactly what England would like - playing on Germany's lack of experience - they could quite easily beat them.
