5 years ago today, England 2-0 Germany with Jack involved in both goals and the country in love with him.

One of the best England moments in my lifetime.

Nobody saw that coming.

Really? Player for player England were surely miles ahead on paper. Grealish gift wrapped that one for Kane like Bellingham did the other night.

One of those things that has been twisted out of proportion from what had happened since.

Look at the two teams and put a strongest eleven together (bearing in mind everyone is five years younger, for better or worse).

Germany take Neuer, Rudiger, Kimmich, probably both of Goretzka and Kroos.

England take Kane, Stones, Walker and Sterling. Maybe a very young, West Ham Rice over one of the above?

Either way, it's pretty even fare and it was an impressive result against a perfectly decent team.

At the time Grealish definitely starts in a best XI for the 2 for most managers. One oft he biggest frustrations with Southgate for most is that he didn't seem to realise that Grealish was his trump card in that tournament and he just held him back. Up until the Germany game he probably had most of the country onside to be using Sterling and Mount ahead of him but to leave him on the bench after that performance was a massive wasted opportunity.

If Grealish had started the final, we would have won the trophy.
