Remember when England beat Germany 5-1?

Remember a few years back, when the England team beat Germany 5-1 in a friendly of something (I was quite young at the time)?

Well how come this 4-1 defeat means that English football is utterly dead according to most people on Y!A, when we can clearly see how well Germany has been able to do after this one game?

Games like this just happen. This doesn't mean the England team can be written off for the next 20 years.

    England beat Germany 5-1 in a friendly game , you just lost 4-1 in a competition that comes along once every 4 years.

    Hardly anyone is coming through , Gerrard , Lampard and many others will be too old for the next WC.

  • I remember when Germany beat England 4-1 just now.

    It's KARMA in 1966 England claimed that they scored a goal that never happened against Germany (the same goal that just happened but never touched inside of the line) and that's how england win so they deserve that goal not being counted....

    Source(s): But germany dominated so they rightfully win

    That was a qualifier......who remembers qualifiers, except England fans? Germany got further in that 2002 tournament than England did.

    I remember that. That was a world cup qualifier. And like I have said on YA a bit earlier that 5-1 win was with our 2002 squad which was our best this decade.

    No one is writing them off for the next 20 years, they are being written off for this world cup.

    Not even your almighty Rooney was able to score a single goal.

    Stop making excuses for a team that is not good.
