Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Germany 1, England 5 commemorates the game that elevated coach Sven-Goran Eriksson to his (albeit temporary) status as greatest living man in England, after an unforeseen and unforgettable pummelling of the team England love to hate. September 1, 2001, will linger long in the memory as the day England travelled to Munich for a vital World Cup qualifier against Germany and quickly went one-down in time-honoured tradition.

Lest we forget, only a few months previously Germany had soiled the last ever international at Wembley with a victory that sent little Kevin Keegan into a spiral of self-loathing; they boasted a 28-year unbeaten home record; and the hosts had already booked alternative matches on the World Cup play-off dates that this 5-1 result hilariously forced them to change.

You'll know the story--a Michael Owen hat-trick, plus superb strikes from Steven Gerrard and Emile Heskey, as the Germans look on aghast--but the magic of that late summer evening is worth wallowing in again. The pictures and commentary are from the BBC--Motson and Brooking (with no option to turn them off, unfortunately)--and you get the full 90-minutes, all the relevant replays you could wish for, plus the pre-match build-up and some post-match reaction interviews from the night itself. This is a cherished snapshot of a sporting moment when anything seemed possible for England.

On the DVD: Germany 1, England 5 on disc comes with a reasonable selection of extras--though the lack of alternative commentaries cuts down on the repeat-viewing appeal. "Player Cams" are not alternative takes of the match but mini-montages of action featuring Beckham, Owen, Gerrard, Heskey and Scholes. "Goal Frenzy" offers extended montages of the goals themselves. "U21 Highlights" are extended highlights of the corresponding U21 qualifier. --Alex Hankin

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Game, Good DVD!, 7 Jun 2006
By G. L. Williams "simplygregguk" (South West England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this holding fond memories of the game, and this DVD did not disapoint! With the whole match available and the ACTUAL commentry i can relive a great sporting moment whenever i want!
The extras are good but a bit pointless. Under-21 highlights don't exactly excite me and could have been replaced with highlights of the other qualifying games perhaps.
That aside, this is a well presented DVD and at such a low price i advise that you buy it!
What a game!

5.0 out of 5 stars 90 minutes straight from heaven, 26 Jun 2004
By Adam Foster (Aberdeen, Scotland) - See all my reviews
Watching this never fails to cheer me up. There are few things better than beating the Germans, and to do it in Germany in the manner we did was fantastic. From Owens sensational hat trick to Stevie Gerrard's wonder goal on the stroke of half time this match will live on in the memories of us English fans forever. Jon Motson and Trevor Brooking provide commentary and there are post match reactions from the players. Player cams examine the performances of some the England players. There are even highlights of the U21 game (which we won 2-1). So next time we go out on penalties to Germany, draw with Scotland, or lose to the Argies, just whip out your copy of Eng 5 Ger 1 and be proud of the three lions on your shirt.

4.0 out of 5 stars Eng-ger-land, as they say..., 4 Aug 2008
By P. Foxton - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
It's always good when England win. More so when they beat arch-rivals Germany. But when they win 5-1 against them, it has to be imortalised on DVD. This DVD is just that. It's not just the match though, it quite literally showcases England when they are at their best, and also all those players we know and love and when they are scoring goals. Michael Owen in this match is amazing, scoring a hat trick, and proves what a fantastic player he is (was/can be). This is a great football DVD and definitely an antidote for when England don't perform as expected (like in Euro 2008!)
