European heavyweights Germany and England will be looking for their first wins in the UEFA Nations League as they renew hostilities at the Allianz Arena. Germany kicked off their start in the Nations League campaign with a 1-1 draw against Italy while England suffered a humiliating 1-0 loss to Hungary. Italy's starting 11 in their German match was made up of new faces in their squad as Roberto Mancini did not play the vast majority of the players he used in the Euro 2020 final match. By holding Italy to a draw, Germany at least managed to extend their unbeaten run to 10 games. The last match that England and Germany played against each other was in the elimination round of the Euro 2020 where the English men sent the Germans packing in the round of 16.
Only children and guardians were permitted to attend Hungary's clash with England in the home end, but negative responses towards the taking of the knee still did not cease, and the English also looked disjointed and jaded in an underwhelming defeat. The English team is now staring at a demotion to League B of the Nations League if it is to lose two of the upcoming matches, something they cannot fathom about. The Hungary defeat was England's first loss since the Euro 2020 defeat. England had at least scored a goal in all the 14 matches they had been involved in before the dismal result at Puskas Arena.
Wembley was all joy and laughter as England dumbed Germany out of the Euro 2020 in a 2-0 game thriller. England also won their game against Germany in a friendly as recently as 2016 but there is no Eric Dier to score a 91st-minute winner this time around. Germany's last matches include 3 wins and two draws while England's last five matches include 3 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss. It will be a match to behold for football fans across the world as they watch the number 5 of the world take on the number 12 according to the latest FIFA Rankings which implies that the only best of the game will be on the pitch tonight which makes the fixture even more interesting.
