It's funny because England played and Germany won. Let's say ball possession was 75% England, 25% Germany.
Lampard translated a fine solo-play by Micah Richards on the right side of the field placing the ball inches between Lehmann and the goal post.
Later on, Kevin Kuranyi was lucky to be in the right place at the right time as Schneider crossed the ball from the right side directly towards the goal when Robinson was a few steps away and couldn't catch the ball, it fell right in front of Kuranyi who had no problem placing it safely in the goal.
Few minutes later, Germany pulled their best team work effort in the game where Hitzlsperger, Lahm, Schneider, and Pander played short passes before the latter literally BLAST* the ball from almost 30 meters into the upper left corner of Robinson's goal, marking one of the finest goals I have ever seen.
Both teams had chances to score some more goals (England for the most part) but neither had a good finish.
PS for Mooch: I know you're British but I don't know whether you're English or not. If you are then sorry mate. So much for the new Wembley, eh? :P

Not surprising at all, but they were supposed to win since Germany beat them in the last match in old Wembley. And yes, it is a friendly match but it wasn't much of a friendly because both teams hate to win not to mention to against each other.
Euro 08 is German, no doubt. :P
bah.. its Swedish..

Swedish?
