Honestly I think that this is the year England should be able to get over that hump and finally beat Germany.

They already had their goaltending blunder for the tournament, so as long as they can win before penalties they should be able to get to Argentina.
I can see this. Germany is the second youngest team at this tournament and are facing huge injury problems, obviously Ballack, but now potentially Ozil and Scheinsteiger as well.

Realistically, I dont know how much more England could ask for to go their way besides a red card early in the match.

You've got a really young, inexperienced German team with some serious injury issues, this is as good a shot as England are going to get.

That said, the Germans never worry, they'll be fine.

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.
