England 2 Germany 0!

If you are English or care about England, English Football, English History and/or English Demons, this is the ultimate Good News story!

Finally, England beats Germany in a game that matters.  Fate pits them against each other in the knockout round of 16 in this year's Euro championship.  It could also be called Decades of an Inferiority Complex vs the Teutonic Bullies Who Always Win.

For 75 minutes it looked like my English friend's worst fears would again come to pass.  If it stays tied we may "Oh God, please save us" go to a penalty shootout.  "Not again."

But it didn't come to pass.  Raheem Sterling scored.  And then Harry Kane scored.  It was 2-0 and the game was over.  The demons had been exorcised.  Ecstasy reigned at Wembley and far beyond.

Indeed, Good News!
