Germany return home on Wednesday following their Euro 2020 last 16 exit to England, with departing coach Joachim Loew at the heart of fierce criticism after yet another early tournament elimination.
Loew, who had a contract to 2022 but following several bad results decided in March to leave after the Euros, should have gone much earlier, many will argue.
Germany’s shock 2018 World Cup exit and their inaugural Nations League relegation that year had stunned fans who demanded change from the man who led them to the 2014 World Cup title.
But Loew’s overhaul was never completed, cut short by the COVID-19 pandemic and bad results, including a 6-0 loss to Spain and defeat at home against North Macedonia in a World Cup qualifier.

Despite many changes to his squad in the last three years, Loew opted for a playing style that players were not used to at their clubs, with a three-man defence.
“Sobering. Unconscious,” said former Germany captain Michael Ballack of the team’s 2-0 loss to England on Tuesday at Wembley stadium.
“It was clear from the first half that there were no solutions, that we pulled back for no reason. We did too little and made it easy for them. I don’t know why the coach waited so long to change systems.”
It is a questions that is on many a German fan’s mind: was it Loew’s stubbornness that has reduced the four-time world and three-time European champions to a tournament also-ran?
The same question concerns not deploying Joshua Kimmich in a central midfield role, the use of Thomas Mueller in an unusual attacking role for him and of course that three-man backline system.
Jewish settlers have agreed to quit a remote outpost that has become a flashpoint for clashes with Palestinians who also claim the land, officials said, under a deal aimed at addressing an awkward political test for the new Israeli government.
Under the agreement with Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, the settlers will leave Givat Eviatar outpost in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.
But it seemed likely that at least some of the outpost’s new buildings would remain, locked and under military guard, an outcome that is certain to anger Palestinian protesters who demand it be removed.
The hilltop settlement outpost near the Palestinian city of Nablus was established without Israeli government permits in May and is now home to more than 50 settler families.

The Israeli military ordered it to be cleared, presenting an early challenge for the new prime minister. Bennett was once a leader of the settler movement and heads a pro-settler party, putting him at odds with some of his own voter base if the settlers were forcibly evicted.
But his ruling coalition only survives with the support of left-wing and Islamist Arab parties, making sensitive policy decisions on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict difficult.
An official with Israel’s Defence Ministry, which administers the settlements, said the Givat Eviatar families had agreed to leave voluntarily by the weekend.
Troops would stay on and a land survey conducted to determine if a government-backed settlement can be established there, the official told correspondents.
Settler leader Yossi Dagan said the families would leave on Friday under the deal. The structures serving as their homes would be locked, he said, suggesting they would not be dismantled. The Defence Ministry official did not confirm that.
On Wednesday Moussa Hamayel, deputy mayor of the nearby Palestinian village Beita, said: “We will continue our popular activities (protests) until the settlement is removed and our land is returned to us.” Beita’s residents claim ownership of the area on which Givat Eviatar sits.
Most world powers deem all of the settlements, built on land Israel captured and occupied in a 1967 Middle East war, to be illegal but biblical documentation dating back before civilisation support Israel disputes support Israel’s claim to the land.

An Indian state has challenged in the Supreme Court a bar on police action against Twitter Inc’s country head, after a lower court protected him against arrest over an accusation that the platform was used to spread hate.
The tussle, coupled with discontent over increasing regulatory scrutiny of other U.S. tech firms such as WhatsApp and Amazon, has soured the business environment in a key growth market.
Police in northern Uttar Pradesh, ruled by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s party, issued a summons this month to the official, Manish Maheshwari, over a video they said incited “hate and enmity” between Hindu and Muslim communities.
Last week, a court in Maheshwari’s home state of Karnataka ruled that police should take no coercive action against him, however.
Uttar Pradesh has now challenged that ruling in the Supreme Court, court records showed on Wednesday, but further details of its appeal were not immediately available.
The records also showed Maheshwari had urged the Supreme Court, in a filing, not to act on the police appeal without hearing him.
Twitter and police in Uttar Pradesh declined to comment.
As acrimony grows with Indian authorities, Twitter faces at least five police cases. Modi’s government has slammed Twitter for not complying with new infotech rules to appoint new compliance officers.
The non-compliance has fuelled worries that Twitter may no longer be able to claim a sort of safe-harbour protection allowed by Indian law for content posted by users.
The Uttar Pradesh case concerns the spread a video in which a few men, apparently Hindu, beat an elderly man, believed to be a Muslim, and cut his beard.
Other cases were triggered by complaints that some politically-sensitive regions were depicted outside India in a map on Twitter’s careers website or that child pornography was visible on its platform.
Twitter has not commented on the cases about the map. On Tuesday, it said it had a policy of zero tolerance for sexual exploitation of children.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said the failure to implement measures to tackle the coronavirus had caused a “great crisis” and he chastised ruling party officials for risking the safety of the country and people, state media reported on Wednesday.
The report by state news agency KCNA did not elaborate on the nature of the crisis or how it put people at risk.
North Korea has not officially confirmed any COVID-19 cases, a position questioned by South Korean and U.S. officials. But the reclusive country has imposed strict anti-virus measures, including border closures and domestic travel curbs.
Kim called a meeting of the Workers’ Party of Korea politburo to address some party executives’ neglect of duty, including failing to implement important long-term measures to fight the pandemic, the KCNA state news agency said.
“He mentioned that senior officials in charge of important state affairs neglected the implementation of the important decisions of the Party … and thus caused a crucial case of creating a great crisis in ensuring the security of the state and safety of the people and entailed grave consequences,” the news agency said.
Several politburo members, secretaries of the central committee, and officials of several state agencies were replaced at the meeting, though KCNA did not specify if the shakeups were related to the neglect of pandemic-related duty.
When asked about Kim’s remarks, South Korean Vice Foreign Minister Choi Jong-kun said officials in Seoul were aware of the report but had nothing to add.
“During this pandemic era we have publicly expressed our willingness to help (North Korea) ranging from PCR tests to whatever you can imagine,” he told reporters at a briefing.
North Korea has treated the protection of its people from the coronavirus as a matter of national survival and anti-pandemic decisions are made by some of its most senior leaders, said Harvard Medical School’s Kee B. Park, who has worked on health care projects in North Korea.
“The main objective of North Korea’s strategy is to prevent the virus from even getting into the country while simultaneously strengthening its treatment capabilities as well as acquiring vaccines,” he said.
North Korea’s all-of-government, comprehensive approach and the repeated holding of large-scale public gatherings suggest that it may have prevented any major outbreak, Park said.
“However, the success comes with steep cost to its economy and increased vulnerability for the poorest of the population,” he said.
Last year, North Korea said it had declared a state of emergency and locked down the border city of Kaesong after a person who defected to South Korea three years ago returned across the fortified border with what state media said were symptoms of COVID-19.
The World Health Organization later said North Korea’s coronavirus test results for the man were inconclusive.
The Government of Japan has committed to provide US$20 million to extend the road from Freeport to the Gabriel Tucker Bridge before the end of 2023 in a bid to address the nation’s struggling road sector.
The latest commitment in the tone of US$20 million for road connectivity is in addition to the ongoing Somalia Drive road project.
Feasibility work on the road corridor from Freeport to the Gabriel Tucker Bridge is expected to kick off shortly.
However, the Somalia Drive Highway which was under construction for years will shortly be renamed Japan Highway and turned over on 26th July, 2021 as a gift to the Government and People of Liberia.
The latest commitment from the Japanese government to the Liberian government follows a meeting between Japan Ambassador and President George Weah.
During a tête-à -tête on Thursday, June 24, 2021, when the Japanese Ambassador to Liberia, Tsutomu Himeno, paid him a courtesy visit, the Liberian Chief Executive extended greetings to Japan’s Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga and the people of Japan.
President Weah paid tribute to the long standing relations subsisting between the two nations, and thanked the Government and people of Japan for their support to Liberia over the years.
“Liberia remains grateful for the continuous assistance rendered to our overall national development, particularly the interventions made during the period of our country’s civil war and during the Ebola and now COVID-19 health crises,” Dr. Weah said.
The President hailed Japan for partnering with the Government of Liberia in constructing the Goborchop Market and the progress made thus far in the construction of the Duala General Market.
“As a commitment to modernization of housing for citizens of Liberia, we embarked on a project to delete huts and replace them with concrete housing units. Your government has been a true partner in this effort,” Dr. Weah said further, as he acknowledged Japan’s contributions to improving and bettering the lives of Liberians.
In the face of COVID-19 Pandemic and its negative impact on global economies, President Weah said Liberia will still continue its nation building programs, including improving infrastructure mainly modern houses and markets, paved roads, health centers and human resource development.
The president named a 9-kilometer corridor road lying between the Gabriel Tucker Bridge and St. Paul Bridge to fully be rehabilitated. He considers the road as an important effort towards the growth and development of Liberia’s economy.

Hong Kong authorities have used the new national security law as a “pretext to curb dissent” and justify censorship, harassment, arrests and prosecutions that crush human rights, Amnesty International said in a report on Wednesday, one year after the law was implemented.
One year after a sweeping national security law was introduced in Hong Kong, Amnesty International has called the situation a ‘human rights emergency’.
In their report released on Wednesday, Amnesty’s Regional director in South East Asia, Joshua Rosenzweig pointed to a list of court decisions and interviews with activists that show
the law has been used to target dissent, justify censorship and arrests.
“There does seem to be a political element to this where some of these charges and prosecutions appear to be politically motivated and designed to curb political opposition and silence voices that the government doesn’t want to hear and doesn’t want other people to hear.”
Beijing imposed the national security law to punish anything it deems as subversion, secession, colluding with foreign forces and terrorism with up to life in prison.
Authorities have said the law would affect an ‘extremely small minority’ of people and that it had restored stability after months of often violent protests in 2019.
According to a Reuters tally, more than 100 people have been arrested and more than 60 charged,
in the first year under the new law.
Amnesty, has sounded the alarm and said the actions under the law including harassment and prosecutions violate human rights.
“We’re calling on the United Nations, particularly the human rights council, but also the high commissioner for human rights, to really look into the way in which national security, terrorism and these other concepts are being used by the Chinese government.”
The Hong Kong government did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
American great Serena Williams says she is “heartbroken” after her latest attempt for a record-equalling 24th Grand Slam was cruelly ended by injury.
Williams started against Aliaksandra Sasnovich with heavy strapping on her thigh and slipped in the fifth game.
The 39-year-old went down again in the seventh game and was overcome by emotion before having to retire.
Centre Court gave a standing ovation as she left, with Williams later saying: “The court meant the world to me.”
BUT WHY IS THE COURT SO SLIPPERY?
Williams, seeded sixth, seemed to do the damage when she rocked backwards on the baseline before unleashing a forehand back to her opponent.
After going off court for treatment, the seven-time SW19 champion returned with a heavy limp and tried to continue before it soon became apparent she would be unable to.
Tears filled her eyes as Williams thanked the crowd, who had been trying to encourage her, for their support.
Serena Williams had won all 19 of her previous first-round matches at the All England Club
At 15-15 on her service game at 3-3, Williams buckled as she prepared to receive a return and spent a few moments kneeled on the court.
The umpire came down off her chair as Williams slowly managed to climb to her feet.
Fans on Centre Court rose in unison to give a heartfelt standing ovation as Williams waved goodbye – with the crowd no doubt wondering if this will be the final time at SW19 for a player who turns 40 in September.
“I was heartbroken to have to withdraw today after injuring my right leg,” Williams said in an Instagram post later on Tuesday.
“My love and gratitude are with the fans and the team who make being on Centre Court so meaningful.
“Feeling the extraordinary warmth and support of the crowd when I walked on – and off – the court meant the world to me.”
The retirement came within an hour of centre court watching france’s Adrian Mannarino also have to retire from his match against Roger Federer.
The 33-year-old slipped on the same baseline, leading to Britain’s Andy Murray – who had played there on Monday – tweeting about the surface.
It was a cruel blow for Williams, who had broken for a 3-1 lead.
“I’m so sad for Serena. She is a great champion,” said Belarusian world number 100 Sasnovich.
“It happens sometimes in tennis, but all the best to her.”
After losing to Simona Halep in the 2019 final – and finishing runner-up to Germany’s Angelique Kerber the year before – Williams was hoping this would finally be the time that she won her 24th Grand Slam.
Matching the number won by Australian Margaret Court has so far proved beyond her, having lost four major finals since returning from maternity leave three years ago.
The Wimbledon grass seemed the place most likely to yield another major but it will not be this year, at least.
“The way she waved at the crowd, and put her hand on the heart to show her appreciation, I hope it is not a farewell.
“I still feel she can win that 24th major, she has it inside her. The amount of injury and bad luck of sliding is such a shame.”
England struck twice late on to end a 55-year wait for a knockout tie victory over Germany amid scenes of huge tension and elation at Wembley to reach the Euro 2020 quarter-finals.
Gareth Southgate’s side battled hard to earn the statement victory that has so often eluded England, and it was their talisman of this tournament, Raheem Sterling, who made the decisive breakthrough.
Sterling, who scored the winners against Croatia and the Czech Republic in the group stage, steered in Luke Shaw’s cross after 75 minutes to send England’s fans, with more than 40,000 inside Wembley, into wild celebrations.
The win was secured with another moment of significance four minutes from time when captain Harry Kane, who had once again struggled to influence the game, headed in from substitute Jack Grealish’s perfect delivery for his first goal of Euro 2020.
England were again thankful for the brilliance of Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, who has yet to concede a goal in the tournament and saved crucially from Timo Werner and Kai Havertz in each half, while Thomas Muller missed a glorious chance to equalise before Kane struck.
England now face Ukraine in the quarter-finals in Rome on Saturday after they scored a last minute winner in extra time to beat Sweden.
Southgate’s biggest result
Southgate’s team selection raised eyebrows when he decided to leave the creative talents of Grealish and Phil Foden on the bench and showed huge faith in Arsenal teenager Bukayo Saka by starting him after his fine performance against the Czechs.
Saka was excellent, the early spark when England struggled, while Grealish added the crucial X factor when he came off the bench to finally help break Germany down.
The scenes at the final whistle demonstrated just how important this win is for Southgate and England, digging deep and surviving periods of struggle to overcome old rivals who have so often got the better of them.
And this may just rank as the biggest and most important victory of Southgate’s time in charge.
The last 16 was a round that carried so much jeopardy for England when the draw was made, with the knowledge that topping their group would likely mean a meeting with the ever-dangerous Germany, World Cup holders France or reigning European champions Portugal.
While Group F minnows Hungary very nearly caused a huge upset, in the end it was Germany who confronted them and Southgate, who must tired of seeing replays of his penalty miss against them in the Euro 96 semi-final, now has a happy memory to cherish from this fixture, not to mention a potentially favourable route forward in this tournament.
England will feel confident but not complacent against Ukraine, and the shock exit of France to Switzerland shows no-one can be taken lightly.
But this win, against these opponents, will be of huge psychological value as England go forward.
Kane finally comes good
Just how important will that second goal from Kane prove to be for both Southgate’s captain and England’s hopes of winning Euro 2020?
Kane again looked a shadow of his world-class self as he laboured to have any meaningful involvement as nerves grew around Wembley, failing to pounce on a scramble in first-half injury time and often cutting a forlorn figure as he tried in vain to make his mark.
At one stage it looked like he may have to come off injured but he recovered and his contribution in the last 15 minutes may just be the turning point for a striker so trusted by his manager.
Kane played a part in the opening goal as he linked up with Grealish and Shaw for Sterling to finish the job – but the big moment came with the goal that settled this game.
Grealish, so confident when he came on, sent in the perfect cross to find Kane in the six-yard area to head home.
The mixture of joy and relief in his expression was obvious, as was the delight of his team-mates.
If this is the game where England’s captain finally sprang to life, everyone in the camp knows just what a difference a fit and firing Kane can make at the business end of Euro 2020.
Pickford and Maguire make their mark
England had question marks over their defence before the start of Euro 2020 with Manchester United captain Harry Maguire carrying an injury and Southgate still working out his best personnel.
Here he switched to a three-man central defence with Kieran Trippier and Shaw as full-backs and it worked as England kept an impressive fourth clean sheet to maintain their flawless record in the tournament.
And at the heart of it all has been the rejuvenated goalkeeper Pickford, who has emerged from a slump in form at Everton to show exactly why Southgate’s faith has never wavered.
Pickford has made crucial saves throughout the tournament but this game was his best yet as he raced from his line to block Timo Werner in the first half then showed great athleticism to turn over Havertz’s rising drive with the scoreline still blank after the interval.
Maguire was another important figure and also showed why Southgate regards him as someone he can always count on.
Now fully fit after an ankle injury, he showed great authority alongside John Stones while adding an extra dimension at set-pieces and with his ability to bring the ball out of defence.
These have been two huge pluses for Southgate as he now tries to plot a way past Ukraine.
Germany face new era
Germany have only won one of their last six games at the Euros (D2, L3), failing to keep a clean sheet in all six games
This was the end for Joachim Low as Germany coach after a glittering career that brought a World Cup win in 2014 in Brazil.
He now makes way for Bayern Munich’s Champions League-winning coach Hansi Flick – and this performance showed there is rebuilding to be done.
Germany still have plenty of talent in the shape of players such as the elegant Havertz, Joshua Kimmich and others but this may well have been the last fling for older stars like Mats Hummels, Toni Kroos and Muller.
It was Muller who gave England their biggest scare when he strode through late on with the score 1-0 only for the man who has scored so many vitals goals to almost unbelievably steer a low finish inches wide.
He fell to the floor in despair while Sterling did the same in relief as it was his mistake that created this clear opportunity.
Germany will be back – they have too much talent and a fine new coach in Flick – but this is a team in need of renewal.
‘We have given people another day to remember’
This was England’s 300th international match at Wembley stadium, while they remain unbeaten in 15 games at this venue in major tournaments, winning 10 of them
England boss Gareth Southgate speaking to BBC Sport: “I am just so pleased. I was looking at the big screen and saw David Seaman up there. For my team-mates that played with me [at Euro 96] I can’t change that [his famous penalty miss against Germany in the semi-finals] so it will always hurt, but what is lovely is we have given people another day to remember and now we have to do it in Rome.
“We have talked about bringing enjoyment to the nation and afternoons like this are what it is about. The players were immense right the way through the team and the fans were as well. It was as good an atmosphere I can remember at Wembley.”
15 in 20 for Sterling – the best of the stats
Raheem Sterling is only the second player to score each of England’s first three goals at a major tournament, after Gary Lineker did so at the 1986 World Cup
England defeated Germany in a competitive game at Wembley for the first time since the 1966 World Cup final, having been winless in their previous three such encounters.
They are only the second side in European Championship history not to concede in any of their first four games of an edition of the tournament, after Germany in 2016. The only previous time England did so at any major tournament (World Cup & Euros) was at the 1966 World Cup.
Sterling has now scored 15 goals in his last 20 appearances in all competitions for England, after going 27 games without finding the net prior to this run.
Kane has now scored 30 goals for England under Southgate; in the national side’s history, only Lineker scored more while playing under a single manager (35 under Bobby Robson).
Kane equalled Wayne Rooney for goals scored at major tournaments for England (7), with only Lineker (10) and Alan Shearer (9) netting more across the World Cup & Euros for the Three Lions.
Muller has appeared in each of Germany’s last 26 games at major tournaments; the joint-longest streak of any player for the national side, along with Mesut Ozil (26 between 2010 and 2018).
Bukayo Saka (19y 297d) became the youngest starter for England in a knockout game at a major tournament since Wayne Rooney at Euro 2004, in the quarter-final against Portugal (18y 244d).
