Full-time: Germany 0-0 England
What are your score predictions?
Impressive performance by England. They had a strong physical presence at the back and I’m sure the German women players knew they had really been in a match at the final whistle. Germany defended well too of course and they denied our attackers any real chances. But in these types of games where attackers are marked closely there are always going to be one or two chances that fall to midfielders and defenders. This did happen, but I think England have to prepare themselves better for when these chances come along and be more clinical in their finishing. I think they also need to work on free kicks and corners so that they can deliver more quality balls into our opponents penalty area and cause havoc there in the process.
Full-time: Germany 0-0 England
