Germany won the last friendly match before going down to the Euro Championship. On the other hand, the favorite England lost to Iceland who did not get a chance in this year’s Euro.
Thorsteinsson gave Iceland the lead in 12 minutes at Wembley on Friday night. His brilliant goal left the English side behind. There was no creativity in the midfield of the English football team. There was no edge in the attack.

Greece’s Masouras scored a goal in the 33rd minute. Germany had to wait until 56 minutes to score against the Euro 2004 champions. Kai Havertz scored to tie the game. Gross scored in the 89th minute to secure the win for the Germans.
