England 0 – 0 Germany

Great tactical game with superb man to man restriction well supported by the England goalkeeper.  We had created the best goal opportunities in the game from counter attack moves.
First Half we decided to give initiative to the Germany team and explore the counter attack as they found it hard to beat our defence system.  Second Half we tried to play more in attack with 2 players close to the goal and 2 players from the back, this way we created a lot of problems for Germany.
Although it was goalless, it was an exciting game where England showed a big improvement from previous competitions regarding consistency and confidence playing against higher ranking teams.

Marc Waddingham comments after the game:
It is a good base to start on not conceding any goals. We had great confidence in our defence this allows us to explore more opportunities in attack. A great effort by all and the games clearest opportunities were ours. We are looking forward to playing Italy in the quarter-final and defending the same way.
