Germany have history in starting slowly, scraping through and then doing better in the knockout stages. But how many great players have they got at the moment? Portugal seemed decent enough, Belgium. France have impressed the most, for me. But they've all only played once so way too early.
I think they might start with Werner in the next game. Yes he has been awful for Chelsea this season, he is very quick and creates issues for defenders. Everything was infront of the back 4 for France last night and easy to defend against. El stovey said:

France deserved that by more than one. Think Germany could be struggling to get enough points on the board for a 3rd place best qualifier position.
Yep Germany looking a bit tired and lacking movement based on this match. Nothing to be afraid of so far IMO.

Maybe not outright great players but Germany have strength in depth we could only dream of. They brought, Sane, Werner and Havertz off the bench.

I thought Can made a difference when he came on, picked a couple of passes that got between the French defensive lines.They brought, Sane, Werner and Havertz off the bench.
But they did look a bit toothless up front.

Yeah I think England are looking like one of the best teams. Great to see some of the potential future opponents like Spain and Germany looking a bit less threatening too.
Agree those two look weaker this time round but I only put England on par with them and that’s a maybe given our ability to choke at first real test.France, Italy, Portugal, Belgium all stronger
If I were to rate the teams so far, then it would be - Netherlands, France, Portugal, Italy, Germany, Belgium, England, Spain, Slovakia, Ukraine.
The best match was Netherlands v Ukraine, with France v Germany the runner up.
With England, we have to improve on creativity and passing fluidity. Phillips, Foden, Stirling were all good. I thought we played better in the last World Cup, here's hoping we improve.
