........ . football match happening this weekend , involving Germany and England .
Some one has looked at the stats relating to the success rate of penalty shoots outs of the two teams
Germany - 94 %

Apparently also ,going on past matches England has a 1.4 % ( rounded up ) chance of beating Germany .
Is it going to be another case of Deja Vu

It will, for unstatistical reasons, definitely be a case of Deja Vu, but only because Germany have played far better so far than England who all but staggered into the Last 16. 3-0 Germany, folks?

Thats several times ive heard the World War being brought into it -think taking it just a tad too far hmm?
Ive also been listening to the pundits and they refer to penalties all the time and not the actual match -does that mean that they think Englands only chance is to get through on penalties?
I think England will give them a run for their money and it will be a tight match with not a lot of goals so im going 1-0 Germany.

Berti - I also featured this on twitter and facebook (which you may have noticed if you're a friend of AB on either!)
I think there is a habit of England going out on penalties Dris? I think most of us would like to see the game end through actual play rather than submit ourselves to the stress of penalties!

Very difficult one to call.
England have been far from convincing but at least the last game was a seachange improvement over the Algeria game. I'd like to see a bit more decisiveness in front of goal.
That said, Germany have been far from impressive either - the Austrailia result flattered them, they were convincingly outplayed by Serbia and scraped through against Ghana.
They have a pretty inexperienced international side compared to England, plus England always seem to up their game when required.
I'm an eternal optimist when it comes to English football and rugby and I honestly believe we will win in normal time.
2-1.
