Arise Sir Raheem Sterling. Stand up Sir Harry Kane. England have beaten Germany in a major tournament for the first time since 1966 – this is not an exercise!
By the way, long before the nation broke out in a joint rendition of Sweet Caroline, we had the thrill of every starting XI being revealed. As is now the tradition, England’s line-up was greeted with uninterested anger from many.
Leaving both Jack Grealish and Phil Foden was a brave conversation and England fans were keen to make their feelings known.

A year ago, Bukayo Saka did not even have a Premier League goal to his name. Now he starts against Germany and it is no less than he deserves. He has delivered during the biggest moments for Arsenal and is not afraid of the moment.

Germany started the game extremely well. The key to this was their midfield. They looked confident, they did not let England rest and their movement was fantastic.
Declan Rice fought hard to keep them in and took Leon Goretzka down to the edge of the box …
Declan Rice is the first England player to be booked in a tournament game against Germany at Wembley since Paul Gascoigne in the semi-finals in the 96s.

After this early horror, England improved dramatically thanks to Bukayo Saka. The Arsenal kid sometimes broke the German press alone and gave his side the faith to grow into the game.

– Alex Stewart (@AFHStewart) June 29, 2021
England’s improvement provided opportunities for Harry Maguire and Raheem Sterling. But the best opportunity for half would fall on Harry Kane.
The ball to the Three Lions captain happily broke into the box and he tried to round the goalkeeper – just so the ball would come from him.
It was heartbreaking.

Early in the second half, Jordan Pickford was forced into a fantastic save to deny Kai Havertz. There were fears that this would set the tone for the next 45 minutes, but we were wrong.
Instead, things were decided with chances of a prize. England looked particularly sterile in possession and the entrance to Jack Grealish shortly after the hour mark was greeted as the second time.
Jack Grealish can the ball ??

However, it would not be Grealish who would change the game. Instead, Sterling would send Wembley into hysteria and knock home Luke Shaw’s passport to give England the lead.
The goal triggered really playful scenes, not only at home for football but also on Twitter.
