Spanning more than 90 years since the first official match between the two nations, it has become one of the most enduring and compelling rivalries in world football.For England, a succession of painful defeats at major tournaments transformed Germany into the ultimate Angstgegner--a formidable opponent that became both a sporting nemesis and a fixation for the national media. For Germany, Wembley remains the spiritual home of football, where memories of 1966 have gradually been overshadowed by decades of success and even the playful adoption of the English refrain, 'football's coming home.'The rivalry has long transcended the boundaries of the pitch.
