Whats all the shouting about and the uncontrollable excitement, England have taken 55 years to win a football match against a German side, is that really that great? I don't think so. Plus what do we actually get from this? within a couple of weeks after its all done and dusted, it will be forgotten. The players involved will just be showered with even more of a gross weekly/ monthly wage along with their manager. So what will you get from it, if anything.

ITS COMING HOME BOYS!!
I don't like football but even I can see what a morale booster this is. I guess that comes from being a glass half-full person rather than a misery guts. Well done England. Good job!!
It's an excuse to get drunk and cause mayhem
What do we get from it? A little joy - isn't that enough? Sure, it's only temporary, but everything is. We've gotta take our excitement where we can, and it's been a great distraction. I don't even like football that much usually, but still watched it and even let out an audible "whoop" when Kane scored.

All the more reason to celebrate.
I usually hate football but even I jumped for joy watching the last 10 minutes.
I'm not a football fan but I'm happy for those that are. I don't give two hoots about their pay, think of all the income tax and VAT they pay, even if they are dodging some of it. One player probably pays more in over one year than I have in my lifetime

What about when we beat Germany 5-1 in a World Cup qualifier in 2001?

True - but this is the first time England have beaten Germany in the latter stages of a knock-out competition since The World Cup in 1966.
It’s 55 years to beat Germany in the knockout stage of a major tournament

I’m not actually sure how many times that would be?
1970 WC; 1972 EC; 1996 EC; 2006 WC
There was a win at the 2000 EC (group stage).
There have been several other wins.
It is the first time England have ever won a knockout tie in 90 mins in the European championship, the only previous win being in penalties against Spain before they became good in 1996.
That’s possibly more of a “thing”

Not that I'm that interested, but you know what I think is wrong with most England teams that we've had. We tend to have just one so called star, at the most two, who they totally rely on to put the ball in the net, if the one or two stars have off days, and that's been most of the time( even with all the money they get) we are sunk. You here the panels verdict during the game and after, saying something like unless they feed Harry the ball, he's not going to score, ie he needs it put on his head or foot 2 yards in front of the goal. The panel always seem to know what they are doing wrong, and what they should do to win, don't Southgate know?
Anti-English teacake LOL
Apparently. It's normal to wait for them to lose before 'putting the boot in'.
Yes, as you say, you really don't get it.

Don't you start ^^ :0) waiting on TTT, But really, I've never played Golf, but if you place the the ball say one foot in front of the hole the chances are, I will get it in.
They are individuals and don't always gel as a team. Sometimes too many egos
I think it's just that the people who care about this shizz REALLY care about it
^ //but if you place the the ball say one foot in front of the hole the chances are, I will get it in//
you probably will . . . eventually
TC: "England have taken 55 years to win a football match against a German side," - once again breath taking ignorance, we last beat Germany in 2016. This is a win in a knock out stage of a tournament and those are rare occasions the last chance to do that was in 1990, so please try and not demonstrate your total lack of understanding so publicly, it makes you look very silly.
