Goals make the difference, most of the DT's play safe on this games because is "win or go home", so when a team makes a goal, the other team moves in to even that, leaving a LOT of space to use for the other team playing counteroffensive tactics.
What killed England is the fact that Germany scored first and then their evening goal was nullified, making the team uneasy about it and wanting to revert the situation as fast as they could, this made them leave a lot of space for Germany to use.
Aside from that, you got to give all the credit to Germany's offensive line, they made almost every move against the UK goalkeep effective, and that scares the **** out of me, they just don't seem to miss.
