“My God,” groans the London newspaper “Metro” in German. And the “Sun” knows: “The Germans also say they are coming home.”
Yes! Here again for all English people: Germany is coming home!
Hello Wembley, here we are again!
If Boris Becker’s living room is called Wimbledon, then the parlor of German football is Wembley.
No stadium outside of Germany makes our hearts beat faster than the huge box in the north of London – for the sheer joy of the next big win!
It started with defeat. Or better: with a complaint …!
► 1966 World Cup final. England won with the most notorious goal in history that wasn’t one. In extra time against Germany (at the end even 4: 2, free).

Hurst’s shot (not in the picture) is not fully over the line. Nevertheless, the goal counts to 3-2 for England on July 30, 1966Foto: picture alliance / AP Photo
Franz Beckenbauer had a clear view of the “Wembley goal”, which the English don’t call that at all. And confirmed BILD again yesterday: “I’ll stick with it: The ball hit the goal line behind Tilkowski, but it wasn’t fully behind the line.”
Well, dear English people, we reciprocated a few times for that.
► EC quarter-finals 1972.
No goals were set up during the final training session in the stadium. Beckenbauer grins: “Now let’s get rid of the evidence from ’66 …”

April 29, 1972: Germany wins the quarter-final first leg at Wembley 3-1, qualifies for the European Championship finals. Netzer scores against Banks from the point to 2: 1 (photo). The other goal scorers: Hoeneß and Müller. The second leg ends 0-0Foto: picture-alliance / dpa
The goals are back in the game. Beckenbauer, Netzer, Müller, Hoeneß conjure up a German national team like never before. 3-1 intoxication against England.
► European Championship semi-finals 1996. The English think they can at least win another title at home (haha!). And lose in the semifinals after penalty shootout 6: 7. Andy Möller cheers in a torero pose. And who’s fucking for England? Gareth Southgate. He’s now the coach of our EM opponent on Tuesday …
► World Cup qualification 2000. The last game in Wembley, opened in 1923, which was (unfortunately) demolished afterwards. The cabins silted up, the tiers crooked and crooked, with bad luck you have a pillar under your nose. And if you are lucky you can meet a prime minister at the bathroom (happened to the author).

A shot like a line: Hamann (4th from left) scored the last goal in the old Wembley Stadium (built in 1923) on October 7, 2000. The DFB selection wins 1-0Foto: Action Images
Who will score the last goal at Old Wembley? A German! Didi Hamann tore down the stadium with his 1-0 winner. England coach Keegan resigns in the locker room.
► New Wembley, next win in 2007! In the cool glass and steel palace, which costs 1.2 billion euros, the Germans are invited to one of England’s first international A matches. The thank you: a German 2: 1, including a dream goal by Christian Pander. In our Wembley even a Schalke meets …

First England bankruptcy at the new Wembley! Germany is still unbeaten there (3 games, 2 wins). Christian Pander (r.) Made it 2-1 against goalkeeper Paul Robinson in August 2007Foto: picture-alliance/ dpa
► Another 1-0 victory follows in 2013 (by Per Mertesacker).
Dear Englishmen,
Germany is coming home! And at most he goes to Rome again for the quarter-finals. We’ll definitely be back for the semi-finals and the final, at our Wembley!
