How Twitter reacted to England’s win over Germany
Published:
The nation’s reaction to coming from 2-0 down to beat the reigning world champions 3-2 in a warmup game to a major tournament probably doesn’t need spelling out.
An impressive, fast-paced and organised performance saw Roy Hodgson’s men really raise expectation levels ahead of the European Championships in France this summer.
However, there were more social media reactions than just the “we’re gonna win the Euros” tweets that inevitably followed the win.
Here, Ladbrokes News bring you the best of them all in one handy place:

Danny Rose lined up for his debut, becoming another Mauricio Pochettino disciple to progress to full international honours
Danny Rose starting vs. Germany will mean that 11 out of last 19 England debutants will have done so whilst managed by Mauricio Pochettino.

Despite their strong start, England went into the half-time break a goal, and goalkeeper, down
Some strike from Toni Kroos, vicious strike. Butland, who’d just sustained an injury, caught out. Off on stretcher, Forster on. 1-0 Germany

Dele Alli, was enjoying a good game, a fact that didn’t go unnoticed on Twitter
Dele Alli the star of the show for England tonight. Looks very comfortable at this level. Looks like he’s relishing the company he’s in.

England kept pushing for the win and Alli skied a golden chance towards the end, but with almost the last touch of the game his Spurs teammate Eric Dier thumped a header home from a corner. Alli congratulated him, sort of
Buzzing for @ericdier scoring the winner! Not happy about him laughing at my miss though?? pic.twitter.com/OWKlZeN1kv

At the final whistle, the “we’re gonna win the Euros” hype machine went into overdrive
