England 3: 2 Germany

Did any of you had the opportunity to watch the exhibition match between England and Germany? Although is was a match for retired footballers to raise funds for the charity of Sir Bobby, it was very interesting. The Germans took the game more serious and played very well. In fact I strongly believe that Germany was the better team on the night. The Germans were up by two goals within the first twenty minutes of the game.

The player that won the game for the English was Allan Shearer. Wow! what a game he had. He scored the third goal from the spot ten minutes to the end of the game. I feel the true score line should have been: Shearer 3: 2 Germany. This is because Shearer had a hand in each of the goal scored. The first two goals were scored from set pieces each time when he was brought down. I'm sure some clubs might be tempted to try to talk Shearer out of retirement because he, without doubt, proved that he is still better than a good number of strikers who are still playing today.

Well, I had a good evening watching the game on TV. Please share your comment if you watched the match.
