The Germany game was the big one. A clash of the titans, two footballing giants going head-to-head. The pressure was on, but England kept their cool. They won 2-0 in a dominant performance, proving they were the real deal.
A Perfect Ending
The final game was against Hungary at home. England were already guaranteed to top the group, but they weren't going to let up. They crushed Hungary 4-0, completing a perfect group stage campaign.
England's Nations League campaign was a joy to watch. They played with a swagger and confidence that was infectious. They scored goals for fun and defended like a brick wall. This England team is full of exciting talent and they're only going to get better.
