Relax lads.
England staged a stunning comeback against world champions Germany in Berlin on Saturday night.
Trailing 2-0 after an hour, Roy Hodgson’s side managed to turn the game around and win 3-2, thanks to a fantastic Jamie Vardy goal, a Cryuff turn from Harry Kane and a bullet header from Eric Dier.
A young England team beating the world champions away from home months before a major international tournament can only mean one thing – they’re going to win Euro 2016 get knocked out on penalties in the quarter-finals.
England fans on Twitter were understandably excited about seeing off Germany in such dramatic fashion.
However, Irish fans, including golfer Shane Lowry, were quick to remind our pals across the water that although they beat the world champions, it wasn’t in a competitive match, like Ireland’s victory over Germany last October.
