England Germany: Nations League

England 3-3 Germany (report)

​​​​​​England and Germany drew 3-3 at Wembley on Monday as the hosts surged back from 2-0 down to lead 3-2 only for Kai Havertz to level with his second goal as the battle of the Nations League's Group A3 also-rans exploded into a memorable goalfest.

After a first half short on action and quality between the two World Cup-bound rivals Germany gradually took control, going ahead with a 52nd minute penalty by Ilkay Gundogan and a lovely Havertz curler in the 67th. England hit back with two goals in four minutes as Luke Shaw forced the ball in at the far post after 71 and then Bukayo Saka slalomed past three defenders and fed fellow substitute Mason Mount who brilliantly swept home the equaliser.

Another VAR penalty for a foul on Jude Bellingham enabled Harry Kane to put England ahead but just as the crowd were acclaiming the comeback, goalkeeper Nick Pope spilled a shot by Serge Gnabry and Havertz tapped in the loose ball in the 87th. Saka then thought he had won it for England, only for Marc-Andre ter Stegen to touch his shot past the post. (Reuters)

Less than 15' to go ahead of kick-off at Wembley. 

Fair to say that England fans are quickly running out of patience with Gareth Southgate and his team's inability to find the net in more than 450 minutes of football.

Almost impossible to see the FA reacting and sacking the coach at this late stage of the day should England lose again but the pressure would ramp up another level ahead of the 2022 World Cup.

Germany lucrative WC bonuses announced

Qatar 2022 represents an opportunity for Die Mannschaft to win their fifth title and equal the record, held by Brazil. But a lot has changed since Germany were last crowned world champions in 2014. 

The German Football Association (DFB) have given the team an extra incentive to make their World Cup campaign a successful one with a series of performance-related bonuses. Each player will receive a bonus payment of 50,000 euros if Germany manage to qualify from Group E and make it into the Round of 16. The bonuses are on top of the fixed match fee every player will receive for taking part.

Booking a place in the quarter finals will earn Flick’s team 100,000 euros per player and the bonus will rise to 400,000 euros ($390,000) if they lift the World Cup in Lusail on 18 December. Reaching the semi-finals would guarantee 150,000 euros each, while a third-place finish would see playing take home 200,000 euros each. If they go all the way to the final but lose, they will receive 250,000 euros each for ending as runners-up.

“I believe we are going to be judged on how we perform out in Qatar. We’re just in one of those moments where it’s not quite going our way. We’re confident we can turn that around,” he stated.

“We have one more game on Monday to try to get some good feelings back. Ultimately, once we get to the World Cup, we will be ready for that first game and be fully focused on that" stated the Spurs striker.

“I don’t think our confidence has been dented, but you want to win games. We are all experienced enough, with our clubs especially we have been through those moments when things haven’t been going so well. It’s about bouncing back.”

Sterling: It is not time for England to panic

Raheem Sterling has defended England boss Gareth Southgate ahead of his side’s UEFA Nations League clash with Germany on Monday.

The Three Lions suffered relegation from the Nations League following Friday’s 1-0 defeat to Italy, and on a poor run with no wins in five matches.

When asked about the criticism aimed at Southgate, Sterling said: “We all know that is what comes with football and playing at the highest level.

“You are under scrutiny and a lot of it is unfair, of course, but that is the level we are at with England,” he said.

“We are always under that pressure to win, and this small loss of form is not something we need to panic about. We now have a big opportunity coming up in the winter to go out and show what we can do again.”

No time to panic: Southgate

England manager Gareth Southgate admitted on Sunday that recent results had been unacceptable but added he was not hiding from criticism after his side were relegated to the second tier of the Nations League.

‘The results haven’t been at the level we want, that we require, so no matter what job you have in football that would be the case,’ Southgate told reporters ahead of their final group game against Germany at Wembley Stadium on Monday. ‘Of course, with the national team that noise is going to be louder and more widespread, I understand that. I’m not hiding from it, we are not enjoying it but we have to keep doing the right things every day to keep improving.’
