Great win for England. Played really well second half.

Not getting too carried away though. Germany's team for the last 30 minutes will be nothing like their best team. Hummels going off left them all over the place at the back.

Hope the pundits don't build up the hype too much.

Excellent performance, not perfect (especially not in defence) but much better that we've seen from England in a while

Im sure we'll be rotating alot over the next few friendlies, but I hope Roy doesnt just lump for the tried and tested at the Euros and actually gives some of these younger players a chance.

Too late for that pal. Clive Tyldesley already hyping up the chances at the euros

This England team have actually entertained tonight , show a bit of faith , Daveo ..

This England team have, they've been great against a German team in first gear. Look at Germany's recent results, narrowly beat Georgia 2-1, lost to ROI 1-0, narrowly beat Scotland 2-1.

It's OK having faith but you have to be realistic, this team won't be the one to start the Euro's as well.

Great comeback, great performance. But I'm not falling for this. Qualifying & friendlies before major tournaments aren't England's problem. It's when we get to the tournaments the problems start. Watching England since mid/late 80's has taught not to get too carried away!

We pressed really well up top. Rooney can't play, he'll slow the play down. The same for Sterling too. He's all instinctive, it just won't work.  Sturridge I'm not sure about either.

Cahill is a Shackell clone too. Ball slows down when it gets to him.

And why wouldn't he? We just beat the reigning world champions in their own back yard.

There aren't any great teams out there as qualifying showed.

I watched last 30 mins. Wow. Can't remember us ever looking as good as that.

The team seemed infused with the Spurs/Leicester belief.

Hardly any 'big club' players. Years of dross served up by Chelsea and Man U players who hated each others and were overated.

Kane looks incredible. Alli too.

Saying we are going to win the Euros is getting carried away. Saying we are going to a tournament with a chance of actually looking like a good team is realistic. 

Our first aim is not to not embarras ourselves this summer. Would be the first time since...erm..2002 world cup maybe?
