England germany game sunday time

England: Southgate is considering switching to playing with three centre-backs. England have not played this year and the last time they used the formation was when they beat Iceland at Wembley in November If Southgate does switch from the he has employed at the tournament so far, the three centre-backs to start against Germany will be Kyle Walker, John Stones and Harry Maguire. England reached the semi-finals of the World Cup with Walker, Stones and Maguire playing as the three at the back.

The England manager is also considering a recall for Manchester City forward Phil Foden - and Sky Sports News understands it is a real possibility Mount could make a striking return to the starting Foden was left out of the matchday squad for the final group game against Czech Republic as a precautionary measure due to his yellow card but he looks set to win the battle with Rashford and Jason Sancho to start alongside Kane and Sterling.

Ben Chilwell and Mount have been forced to train away from the rest of the camp ever since they came into contact with Chelsea team-mate Billy Gilmour, who tested positive for coronavirus after the Scotland game. But both players have been included in tactical team meetings via Zoom and it seems Southgate is seriously considering including Mount from the off.

The key trio have started each of Germany's games so far at Euro Gundogan was substituted on 58 minutes after sustaining a bruised skull against Hungary and did not train fully with the squad on Monday, while Gosens, who starred and scored against Portugal, along with Chelsea defender Rudiger, are suffering with "cold symptoms". The potential unavailability of Gundogan could see Bayern Munich's Leon Goretzka called up after he came on to replace the City midfielder and netted Germany's equaliser against Hungary.

England secured their only major trophy and Geoff Hurst became the first player to score a hat-trick in a World Cup final. In the first period a shot from Hurst struck the crossbar and when referee Gottfried Dienst could not decide if the ball had crossed the line it was left to linesman Tofiq Bahramov who indicated it had. Hurst completed his hat-trick late on to secure World Cup success for England on home soil.

The game which helped define the career of England midfielder Paul Gascoigne, who started crying after receiving a booking that would have ruled him out of the final. But England did not reach the showpiece after suffering a shootout defeat to the eventual champions. Gary Lineker had levelled the game after Andreas Brehme's opener. But when Stuart Pearce missed and Olaf Thon scored it was left to Chris Waddle, who skied his effort over the crossbar and consigned England to a painful defeat.

More penalty agony for England. Alan Shearer's opener was cancelled out by Stefan Kuntz, while Gascoigne went close to a golden-goal winner in extra-time. There was some redemption for Pearce and Gascoigne who both converted in the shootout, while Shearer, Platt and Teddy Sheringham were also on target. One of the highlights of Sven-Goran Eriksson's England reign and Michael Owen's international career came in Munich but there were few signs of what was to come when Carsten Jancker gave Germany a sixth-minute lead.

Owen drew England level before Steven Gerrard put them ahead on the stroke of half-time. Owen netted again shortly after the break and then completed his hat-trick before Emile Heskey got in on the act to complete the rout. A match that will be remembered for its controversy as Fabio Capello's England were soundly beaten. Germany surged into a two-goal lead inside 32 minutes through Miroslav Klose and Lukas Podolski, before Matthew Upson's header reduced the deficit.

England finished the half strongly and Frank Lampard lobbed Manuel Neuer with the ball bouncing in off the bar. But the referee did not award the goal and Germany killed the game on the break, with Thomas Muller's double sending them into the quarter-finals.

England boss Gareth Southgate : "Something we have spoken about over the last four years is that this team doesn't carry the baggage from previous eras, many of them weren't even born when many of those things happened and it is an irrelevance for them.

Germany manager Joachim Low played down the importance of practising penalties, despite the history of shootouts between the teams.

You can talk about it beforehand but the walk up to the penalty point is a totally different story. More replies 40 down. Comment posted by toffee81, at 29 Jun toffee Pickford, hats off. Rob replied: My England man of the tournament. Has done everything England have asked of him and is the only keeper unbeaten in the Euros so far. And his clearances actually give the team the time to regroup.

Get behind all of them. The crowd were first class. Well done England. Reply posted by spikyone, at 29 Jun spikyone. Replace him with Grealish and we'd have scored a lot more goals by now.

No idea how Sterling starts every match and Grealish sits on the bench.

All of Sterling's goals have bern put on a plate for him, otherwise he's done virtually nothing all tournament. Grealish looks far more creative and more threatening every game.

I keep hearing how he is being slated, but I don't see it! Name me a coach, or pundit who isn't constantly praising him! More replies 20 down. Comment posted by Ken, at 29 Jun Ken. Keep it going. Although The Three Lions were unable to build upon that morale-boosting victory against The Auld Enemy, they bounced back with a victory over the Czech Republic, thanks again to that man Sterling.

And due to results elsewhere, England were already assured of their place in the next round before their final game. That gave the match against the Czech Republic a slightly low-energy feel, with the visitors already knowing they were through as well. Starting with a reunion with an old foe, Germany…. At various points on Wednesday, England were up against France, Portugal, Hungary and Germany, before the latter eventually sealed second spot.

While they have given themselves a tough run, it will be a huge boost to stay at their national stadium and England fans will no doubt be eyeing the quarter-finals and beyond. Surely that label also applies to the veterans he has brought back too, including Mats Hummels and Thomas Muller, but simultaneously, it is also a Germany side with a bright future ahead.

That much has been indicated by the breakthrough of Robin Gosens and the buzz of Kai Havertz. There is not always as much of an end product for more on this, see Leroy Sane yet after a relatively kind group draw, England may well have met their match.

Countering those fears is the fact that there is much to be excited about in the England camp, too. Jack Grealish and Bukayo Saka were effervescent against Czech Republic, Raheem Sterling is in scoring mode, and both Harry Maguire and Jordan Henderson are now fit and ready to firm up a spine which has sometimes been lacking at previous tournaments.

Phil Foden is back in contention having been rested for the win over Czech Republic because he was already on a yellow card. The Chelsea duo are still training alone and their involvement on Tuesday is in doubt. Low has the greater concerns fitness wise, with Lukas Klostermann thigh out and Jonas Hofmann knee available but unlikely to start.
