Watched the entire match on DVD this weekend for the first time ever. Like no doubt most people I have only ever really seen the highlights, don't think I've seen the German goals that often to be honest.
I was blown away by how good a game it was. End to end, stamina draining, no little skill on both sides, edge of your seat thriller.
Personally, whilst Hirst played well and got all the plaudits, for me Ball had a reet game, never stopped running, and Cohen and Wilson were outstanding - I mean Moore and Charlton did what they had to do in the middle of the defence but the full-backs were the ones stopping most of the German attacks, and there were plenty of them from what appeared to be a very technically-sound unit.
I'm really getting into the mood now!
