The Anglo-German War was originally said to be the First World War triggered by the Sarajevo incident, and Britain and Germany became mortal enemies.

Later, in World War II, the two countries were constantly in confrontation...... And the Anglo-German war of modern football inherits the relationship between the two long-cherished enemies, well, I have to admit that football is really spiritual...... In 1966, there was a strange case in the World Cup.

If Maradona's hand of God is a well-founded speculative event, then Hearst's "goal-line goal" in the 1966 World Cup final in England will always be an unsolvable case.

In the 1966 World Cup, hosts England opened the scoring for the Federal Republic of Germany with a goal from Harald's goal, but Hirst equalised seven minutes later. England midfielder Peters scored again in the 78th minute, but the tenacious German sent the game into extra-time thanks to defender Webb's goal in the 89th minute.

In the 101st minute of extra time, Hirst received a pass from a teammate in the penalty area and turned and volleyed, the ball hit the bottom edge of the goal frame and bounced out, and the referee on duty, Swiss Diinster, ruled that the goal was valid. A spirited England team then scored another goal in the 120th minute through Hearst to lift the World Cup trophy for the first time with a 4-2 win over Germany.

However, when talking about the "goal", Beckenbauer, the football emperor who was on the field at the time, still claimed that "the ball did not cross the goal line".

Since then, the British and German teams seem to have been entangled by fate.

1970...... In the quarterfinals of the World Cup in Mexico, the Anglo-German battle left a classic reversal battle. England opened the scoring twice to take a 2-0 lead, but with England replacing Charlton. In the second half, Beckbauer pulled a goal back from distance, which greatly boosted the morale of West Germany, and followed West Germany to equalize before the end, and the two sides drew 2-2 in 90 minutes. In extra time, Gerd Müller volleyed the stunner to give West Germany a 3:2 reversal of England to win. avenged the revenge of the 1966 drinking hatred.

Before the game, the famous England goalkeeper Banksy vomited for some reason and was unable to play, which became an unsolved case in history.

1990...... England in 1990 was star-studded, with Pratt, Gascoigne, Lineker and Beardsley in attack. However, England, who reached the semi-finals after 24 years, once again met their archrivals, the Federal Republic of Germany.

Bremer opened the scoring for Germany with a free-kick in the 59th minute and Lineker equalised in the 80th minute. After that, neither achieved anything, and the game went into a brutal penalty shoot-out. Bremer, Mateus, Riedel and Thorn from the Federal Republic of Germany all hit the shots, while England's Pierce and Waddell missed the penalty set. The England team, which lost the right to the final, was extremely disappointed, and the tears of the young genius Gascoigne moved the world forever.

Anglo-German vs at the European Championships...... In 1996, England hosted the European Championship on their own doorstep, and England organized the best playing national team in history, led by Gascoigne and Alan Shearer, played beautiful football, once swept the Netherlands 4-1, aiming to win the title. And in the semi-finals, Wembley met his mortal rival Germany.

England took an early lead when Gascoigne headed in a corner for Alan Shearer to head home 1-0, before Germany pulled a 1-1 goal from Kunz. After that, the two sides went into a penalty shoot-out without success. In the first five rounds, the two sides hit every shot, in the sixth round, England, Southgate's penalty was saved by German goalkeeper Koepke, and Germany's Andy Muller scored the penalty, Muller's arrogant celebration of the rooster at Wembley's home stadium deeply hurt the hearts of England fans, and finally Germany reversed the Czech Republic 2:1 in the final and won the European Cup at England's doorstep. It further deepened the grievances between English and German football.

And the Munich victory was perhaps the happiest game for England fans.

Because neither in the "ancient times" before 1966 nor in the many meetings in the decades that followed, the biggest difference between England and Germany was never more than three goals, with the exception of the match on September 1, 2001.

In the World Cup qualifiers, the German team at home welcomed its old rival England. In the 6th minute of the first half, high school striker Yankel took the lead for the German team, but he did not expect that the game would completely become the world of England.

Owen, who was in his prime, humiliated Kahn with a hat-trick, and Gerrard and Heskey, two Liverpool greats, also scored successively, and a 5-1 victory achieved the "Munich victory" that is still talked about by the British media.

Well, now that the two teams meet again in the World Cup, the legend is destined to be rewritten and history will continue...... Once again, the goddess of fate teased the players of both teams.

When the Italian referee, the man named Veloso, blew the whistle for the start of the game, unlike his melancholy eyes, the two teams fought hard at the beginning!

Wayne Rooney unceremoniously tackled Du Yang, and he let go of his team-mates in the Manchester United team and the attacking heart of the Manchester United team.

"You're welcome! Prevent. Rooney's words echoed in Du Yang's ears.

Touching his stinging calf, Du Yang didn't think that Rooney would be so ruthless. Well, this is the World Cup, where both sides are fighting for their honor and dreams.

"Wayne, I'm not going to be polite." Walking past Rooney, Du Yang said.

Rooney nodded, then ran back to his team's camp.

The game continued, with the players of both teams battling it out in midfield from the start, with Hargreaves bringing on Schweinsteiger, Rolfes tackling David Beckham, Frank Lampard knocking over Duyang and Podolski kicking Michael Owen down...... At the Allianz Arena in Munich, fans felt the eerie atmosphere of the Anglo-German battle...... Yes, it's very hot, these two are feuding!

The German fans cheered on the German players on the pitch in anticipation of a win over England.

The England fans were small but they still sang the England anthem...... Wayne Rooney ...... It's really come a long way, and the Everton phenom is now a dominant figure in the England squad.

Hargreaves supports England's midfield and a good midfielder is too important for a team.

Hargreaves is known for his ability to scramble, play with a tough style of play, and have first-class defensive awareness and tackling ability; He is also known as a "bad" defensive midfielder: he is extremely physical and always has a strong fighting spirit; Hargreaves is very skilled with both left and right feet, and also has a certain long-range shooting ability; In addition, Hargreaves is an all-round player, in addition to being a full-back and full-back, his defensive ability is more than enough at right-back, and he can also play to the advantages of his crosses on the wing; Hargreaves is also a good set-piece player, dangerous from free-kicks and corners, and he is also a good penalty taker because he is mentally stable.

In 2000, Hargreaves, who has multiple nationalities of England, Wales, Canada and Germany, was invited to several national teams, and Hargreaves chose his father's English nationality. He made his England debut on 15 August 2001 against the Netherlands at the 2002 World Cup, and Hargreaves also played in two group games before being substituted injured against Argentina and ending his first World Cup appearance.

At Euro 2004, Hargreaves was still an important member of the England team, but his role was mainly a substitute midfielder and did not stand out.

Eriksen, the England national team manager at the time, took Hargreaves very seriously, but some stubborn English fans apparently disagreed with Hargreaves as a "Canadian who grew up in Germany", and England fans ridiculed his Canadian accent and his fluency in German. Coupled with the fact that he has not been too outstanding in the England team for many years, he has been booed by England fans every time he plays.

However, Hargreaves has now become the most consistent link in the England squad. The problem of double virtue, the world name conundrum Erikson is not yet able to solve it.

But Hargreaves' presence gave him a little comfort...... Because this guy picked up the big beam in the midfield.

David Beckham joined him as two of England's best performing midfielders at this World Cup so far...... There is no doubt that Hargreaves is an absolute genius...... He showed his talent at Bayern Munich...... And now, he is shining in the England team, and he is also under the attention of Ferguson. The old man liked Hargreaves very much, because he thought Hargreaves was the one who could succeed Keane.

And in the sense of modern football and Hargreaves' future potential, Hargreaves can be better than Roy Keane...... Therefore, the old lord also launched an offensive against Bayern Munich. But Bayern Munich also knows that Hargreaves is important to the team, so they label him as not for sale...... But Hargreaves himself is also inclined to go to Manchester United, so now Manchester United and Bayern are also in trouble...... This seems to have been the case since the Boseman Act, as it was not uncommon for two clubs to fall out over a player issue.

It's like if you're a talented engineer and two big companies compete for you, and if you have real talent, you're bound to cause controversy.

Hargreaves sparked such controversy because he was excellent.

This England team is indeed the strongest team in the history of the collection of talents, they have talents, they have famous managers, and they have superstars...... To be honest, the English media is optimistic about this England team based on the strength of this team, although there are elements of boasting and exaggeration, but you cannot deny that the English media is right...... As long as they don't have problems themselves, then they won't be defeated.

However, since 1966, the England team has not seemed to be reassuring, and this team has often had tragedies and other things.

In Scholes's words, England's players are too individual and too eager to show themselves, which can lead to mismatches. It's a simple pass, but it's a long pass...... Do you think everyone is David Beckham...... Unreasonableness is the biggest obstacle for this England team, in fact, if the England team can play their speed, their football is still very good, super fast attack and defense rhythm and ferocious pressing, it is definitely a blood rush that can make you watch...... Germany's luck seems to be a bit less than good, because it seems that the England players are in good form today, and that's exactly how they played...... Well, the English played their best first 10 minutes of the World Cup so far, and the pressure began to envelop Germany, and the start of the Anglo-German game was very hot...... When the war continues to expand, when the players of the England team and the players of the German team get carried away, the game also enters the **!
