Losing aside, England were actually pretty impressive against Germany on Wednesday night.
Lukas Podolski's 25-yard screamer proved to be the match winner for Joachim Low's men but, for long periods of the game, England were the better side.
The Three Lions' attacking trio of Jamie Vardy, Adam Lallana and Dele Alli terrorised Germany's defence - it's just a shame they couldn't finish at the Signal Iduna Park.
Lallana and Alli both squandered golden opportunities to score in the opening 45 minutes, with the former hitting the post after a lung-busting run.
Even Low was impressed by England's intensity, saying after the game: "Well, in the first half, the boys were very, very nervous.
"We picked younger players. It was noticeable that England were playing more intensely, much more vigorously in the tackle especially.
"It took us a while to get used to this and slowly but surely I think our players got used to rhythm.
"I think it was a very good game in the end. It was good to play against opponents that really gave us a run for our money."
Gareth Southgate's side hustled and harried their rivals to great effect, with no player epitomising England's high press more than Lallana.
The Liverpool midfielder was typically energetic against Germany, with one moment epitomising his desire to play fast and win.
In the video below, when the ball went out of play for an England throw-in, Lallana literally threw Thomas Muller to one side to retrieve the ball.
But Muller, who tried catching the ball to give it back, looked completely unbothered in what was a pretty funny coming together.
LALLANA DOESN'T MESS AROUND
Now that's what you call desire, even if Lallana's behaviour was a bit over the top.
Speaking after the game, the 28-year-old hailed Southgate for risking a high press in an unorthodox 3-4-3 formation against Germany.
"Credit to the boss. He was obviously the one who wanted us to play that way - he felt we had the personnel to fit in and it worked," he said, per the Daily Mail.
"A lot of the lads are playing three at the back at their clubs and in the short time we had to work on it, he utilised the time really well so we had a good few sessions to work on it.
"It could possibly be the way forward. Football evolves and goes around in circles but I think the way that we adapted, considering we didn't have long, worked well."
