A second half that leaves us looking forward to the start of the World Cup.
Intense match that we saw at Wembley good more the second half, I was afraid in the first part that it was a harbinger of the world cup and I was thinking how boring would be the world cup if we see how the teams of England and Germany played in the first 45 minutes, The English already relegated in group B of the League of European Nations with 5 games 6 with this one without victories, the longest winless streak since 1993, and Germany who had just lost against Hungary because it is the last game before the World Cup and perhaps each coach would already have an idea of what they can present in their World Cup debut. In my opinion, the English coach had them on the bench and not the ones he put at the start of the match, they started with Pope in goal who ended up being a figure of bad luck, I do not think he will surpass Pickford in the starting 11 of the World Cup, Pope made a couple of mistakes and one at the start of the match that gave a scare to the English coach Gareth Southgate in the first 10 minutes.

An English team that started the match with a line of three surprisingly Alexander-Arnold was left out of the call Alexander-Arnold, which in fact already threatens the World Cup for him, because the English coach Gareth Southgate has said he has many right backs Kile Walker, Reece James and Kieran Trippier, is still confined to Harry Maguire in that line of three that is also inexplicable. From then on all England had was Jude Bellighan and Declan Rice in the midfield, maybe Calvil Phillips can fight for a place, the same I think for Jakc Greanlish who has a hard time before Fhil Fonden or maybe before Bukayo Saka who came on in the second half and made a lot of fight, nobody is going to move the 9 Harry Kane. The English team started the match without conceding a goal in 62 shots on goal.
For the Germans is suspended Antonio Rüdiger perhaps one of the most relevant absences, after this all that can put the German coach Hans-Dieter Flick with 4 at the back with Süle and Scholtterbeck in the middle and on the sides Thilo Kherer and David Raum, in goal Marc-André ter Stegen playing for Manuel Neuer (with COVID) should be something very similar to what they will present in the World Cup. Up top played Jamal Musiala 19 year old player who played for Werner and obviously you know why that decision was made. Joshua Kimmich and Ilkay Gundoğan in midfield that will be the starters.
25 minutes and Germany would be the one to generate the most danger, but at those instances the English playing on the counter that was evident in the first half. A ball from 50 meters by Luke Shaw, a spectacular pass in front of the spaces left by the German central defenders, Sterling arrived and was covered by Marc-André ter Stegen. Germany's idea was not to give the ball to the English, but they didn't do much when they had the ball either. Werner came on in the second half for Jonas Hofmann, and after 6 minutes a ball given away by Maguire on a run-out was awarded a penalty against Jamal Musiala, which he converted into a goal with a smooth shot to the left of Pope. The 2-0 is a great goal by Kai Havertz from a lost ball by Harry Maguire. Luke Shaw scored in the best collective play of the English that they had done up to that moment, a great play by Bukayo Saka left the ball to Mason Mount and the English tied the match, being already evident the results of the changes of the English coach Gareth Southgate who has his starters in his head, but the best ones are on the bench.
When the English team woke up, the German national team was told to leave, in fact Scholtterbeck's foul on Jude Bellighan was pointed out by the Dutch referee and Harry Kane scored the 3-2. England had changed from the changes what the German coach Hans-Dieter Flick could not do, Pope gave it away after a shot by Serge Gnabry left the goalkeeper Pope and Kai Havertz pushed it in for his second goal of the night. There was a great save from Marc-André ter Stegen on Saka that saved the equalizer.
I want to highlight the player Musiala, a great figure in this match because between him and Jude Bellighan they are fighting for the award for the best we saw on the field and they are precisely two youth players, the quality of Jamal Musiala to handle the ball is incredible, he made one that left three players scattered, this player could choose the English national team because he was raised in the Chelsea academy.

A match that will be remembered for a long time and for the second half. The first half was weak and promising, until the changes came out. If the eleven that we saw at the start look like the ones they will use in the World Cup, what we have seen at the end will make these two coaches change their minds a lot, a first half that scared us with a boring World Cup and a second half that let us start the World Cup, that is my modest opinion, it was a spectacular second half, memorable 3-3 at Wembley.
England national team... Fantastic quality of individuals and a generation to be in the strongest leagues in the world....
Then presenting it to a trained coach, frankly, is a strange step for England, talents without account and with great diversity, and the coach does not have a distinct idea that he is able to present with this formation, individual efforts, no more... Southgate, frankly, wastes a spherical blessing literally.....
You're right, he really wastes all the strategic potential of his team and his individuals, thanks for commenting.

Southgate is definitely overwhelmed with the talents England have that's why he actually doesn't know who to use or bench, but how in the world did Maguire make the team list.
It is true brother I think he does not know his team, and is improvising strategies that are already obsolete, Thanks for commenting.
I'd already forgotten about it until i read your post... lol
interesting read nonetheless.

I am still not impressed with England, they had a horrible stat in the Uefa Nations League and this has brought up a lot of questions if the squad will be able to succeed in Qatar.
