We said: England Under-21s 1-1 Germany Under-21s

As much as Germany can rue bad luck for their failure to best Israel or the Czech Republic, they have been equally punished for a lack of ruthlessness, which is hardly ideal before testing their mettle against an England side yet to concede at the tournament. Carsley's rotated side can be forgiven for taking their foot off the gas as they seek to avoid injuries before the knockout stages, so overcoming the champions might be a bridge too far, but a closely-contested draw would keep the Young Lions undefeated while consigning Germany to only a fourth-ever group-stage exit.
