Overall an entertaining game, but I was not happy with the hissing and booing of the German team especially during their national anthem and the early stages of the game, that was disgraceful.

No-one was more surprised than I when England won, as our track record against Germany in the knock out stages of a competition have less than lived up to the 'billing' since 1966.

I didn't watch it but please clarify for me; are you saying that English supporters booed and hissed the German team during their anthem?
If so it's a sad comment on the times. I would have halted the game, emptied the stadium and invited back in anyone who was prepared to show a sporting attitude.
