England prepare to do battle with the Germans.

England v Germany is one the most recognised fixtures in world football, and it has created it’s fair share of headlines over the years, although irritatingly most of those have been in favour of the Germans.
However, this Sunday England get the chance to level the scores up a little and send ze Germans prematurely packing to their no doubt already reserved poolside sun loungers. As the match edges closer, I thought it may be a good idea to give England fans some classic memories of matches between England and Germany, and where better to start then back in 2001?
That was arguably one of the most memorable England peformances of recent times, and I don’t think anyone expected that result at the time. England had limped into the game and the Germans were threatening to run away at the top of the qualifying group. Hmm, England limping into the game, Germans being superior, kind of sounds familiar to the situation that both teams find themselves in now, doesn’t it? I hope that the end result is the same!
Ok, ok, perhaps I am being greedy, and I am certain that England fans would be happy settle for a victory, any victory rather than another 5-1 mauling, although admittedly it would be nice if the game panned out that way.
You can keep up to speed here with the usual pre-match speculation and preview as well as the all important match banter and match review AND of course all the latest news from Newcastle United here at nufcblog.org. Let’s face it, England could just as easily face elimination themselves this weekend, so I am going to make the most of it whilst I can before all that is left is focussing on the domestic season ahead.
Come on England!
Oooh yeah….. Record breaker 8)
