England vs Germany Head to Head in FIFA World Cup
Both countries are coming to the tournament as equally favourites to become the champion. But both teams have significant flaws in specific areas. England’s defensive department is not so strong to cope with top-class attacking teams. Whereas Germany will struggle with having no proper no.9 to lead the attack.
This even continued in the 1990 FIFA World Cup semifinals, UEFA Euro 1996 semifinals, the round of sixteen of the 2010 FIFA World Cup, and recently in UEFA Euro 2020. This iconic rivalry is only acknowledged by the British media. Whereas German fans only consider Netherlands and Italy as their traditional rivals.
