Germany closed out the old Wembley with a 1-0 win, and their first appearance at the new Wembley was also successful. To be fair, England probably deserved a share of the points, as they pressed hard in the 2nd half. But once again, it just proves that they run around like chickens with their heads cut off when playing a well-organized DFB squad. The winner was a rocket blast from Christian Pander, making his debut for Germany.
