    If one doesn't support any team, there is nothing to stop you being pleased by both Germany's exit and England's exit. It's not an either/or.
    The last time Germany went out at the group stage Hitler was in charge (not of the football team). I bet he wasnt happy.

    It does kind of take the shine of that result in Escape to Victory. Clearly that wasnt a great Germany team and the allies couldn't even beat them with Pele in the side.....

    **spoiler** It was the Kevin O'Callaghan arm-breaking scene that did it for me. Not only did they put the poor lad in goal when he was a winger but then decided to smash his arm so the Yank could play. Dodgy management. Arsene* out!



    *tbf he was more likely to be managing the Germans

    Meanwhile, Michael Caine is allowed to lug his paunch around while pointing and shouting. The fans would have booed him off the field.
