Granted, Germany is the better team 9/10 (this applies to most countries btw) and they have the result to prove it. Still, there is no denying that the rivalry is there. Maybe not as strong as Germany-Holland or England-Scotland but it is there.

One of the main reasons imo they fail is they play an English type of game 90% of the year then try and play a Eurpean game the other 10%, when the English teams were dominating Europe they all played the same way in Europe as they did in the league and none of the European teams could live with them. I'd love an English manager to go out specially in a friendly and have them play a high paced English type of game to see what the outcome would be.
