Image source, Getty ImagesEngland's first real threatening moment as an attacking force as Alex Greenwood's cross from the left is deflected for a corner.
From the resulting kick, the ball is worked out to Lucy Bronze on the right and she drives down the flank before pulling back to Steph Houghton inside the area.
The England skipper should score but she scuffs her effort from close range straight at Germany goalkeeper Nadine Angerer.
Calls for a handball against Tabea Kemme inside the area as well - it her arm, but it would have been harsh.

Quote MessageThis Germany team are a really strong team, but, unlike England, have the experience of winning major tournaments. Germany have started like this in every game apart from against France.

'England must be solid at the back'published at 21:07 British Summer Time 4 July 2015
Germany 0-0 England
Quote MessageThe England team will have a point to prove but it's not going to be easy against Germany. It's important for England that they are solid at the back and do not concede an early goal. It has been such a positive tournament for England and they will want to finish on a high.

Ouch. England skipper Steph Houghton is in pain after getting a stud to her foot from tournament top scorer Celia Sasic. Nothing deliberate in that but that won't make Houghton feel any better.
Casey Stoney is warming up just in case, but it looks as though she won't be needed. The skipper is back up and running.

Germany have started well. They will be as disappointed as England to be in this third-place play-off and you get the feeling they have a point to prove.
England are yet to be able to get their foot on the ball.

European champions?published at 21:00
Germany v England (21:00 BST)
This is not going to be easy for Sampson's girls.
Germany have won the World Cup twice, have been European champions six times in a row and haven't lost to England in 20 matches between the two.
So if England win tonight, they are basically European champions. Right?

Fate or coincidence?published at 20:57
Hands of God, penalty shootout traumas, untimely red cards, and now a last-minute own goal.
English teams - male or female - seem to specialise in going out of World Cups in the cruelest of fashions.
Mere coincidence? A national sporting trait? Or are the footballing gods against them? Ben Dirs imagines what a higher authority makes of it all…
