Full-time: Germany 1 England 2
A deserved win for an inexperienced England team who showed poise and intelligence on the big stage. Germany were made to look ordinary by the pace of Wright-Phillips, Agbonlahor, Downing and Young and the probing passing of Carrick and Barry.
Bent and Carson may have blotted their copy book with Fabio Capello after a mistake apiece that changed the complexion of the game momentarily in the second half, but the England's desire to complete the victory was reassuring. They are building a winning mentality.
