Germany against England is one of the most interesting games in the round of the last 16. Those two teams have a lot of history and their where historical games between this two nations. One of the famous Games between them is of course the World-Cup-Finale from 1966. In this match Geoff Hurst scored the famous "Wembley-Goal" in the 101. Minute of extra time.
Germany could win Group D with two victories and one defeat. Now they face England in the round of the last 16. A game with a lot of history for both of the teams. Coach Joachim Löw has some worries for this game. Bastian Schweinsteiger and Jerome Boateng are injured and the Germanys are not sure if they become fit for the match on Sunday.
England qualified on second place for the round of the last 16. They had 5 points out of two draws and one victory in the last game against Slovakia. Now they face one of their biggest enemies in English football history, Germany. Fabio Capello the English coach knows how important this Match is and that he doesn't have to motivate his players a lot for this game. Contrariwise, Wayne Rooney said that it would be a big pleasure for him and his teammates to kick Germany out of this tournament.

Both Teams has great Fans, and I think that this Game will be the first one at this World-Cup where we won't hear the "vuvuzelas" very loud. The Stadium will surely be ruled be the chants auf the English supporters.
Last Game: Friendly, 19.11.2008, Germany 1: 2 England

Draws: 5
I think that both teams will start very carefully in this game; their goal will be not to have an early deficit. So my tip is a DRAW after 90 minutes.
