Notes on the 989th international match: EM revenge against England

Munich (AP) – The German national soccer team will play their 989th international match in the Nations League on June 7 (8:45 p.m. / ZDF) in Munich against England, who came second in the European Championship.

The balance sheet shows 574 wins, 203 draws and 211 defeats. The goal ratio is 2230:1158.

The record of the DFB selection in the still young UEFA competition remains modest. At the start of the third edition, the desired victory last weekend in the 1-1 draw against European champions Italy in Bologna was missed. In a total of eleven games in the Nations League, there were just two DFB successes. There are also six draws and three defeats. England lost 1-0 to Hungary at the start in Budapest.

Under Hansi Flick, the national team is still unbeaten after eleven international matches. The starting record of eight wins was followed by back-to-back 1-1 wins in Amsterdam and in Italy last Saturday. The goal ratio is 35:4.

Germany vs England is a football classic. The 38th edition will take place in the Allianz Arena. From the point of view of the DFB selection, the balance is negative with 13:17 wins. The last game is still vague: A year ago, the DFB team lost 2-0 at Wembley Stadium in London and were eliminated in the round of 16 of the European Championship. It was the last game with Joachim Löw as national coach.
