We had more of the ball, Germany just made use of it when they had it.

Yes, you were taking shots on from 25 yards out cuz you didn't have the discipline or creativity to actually get behind them. More of the ball means nothing really if you're knocking it about at the back and then hoofing it upfield. Germany were sharper and more precise with their passing. By far the better team which is amazing when you consider the players England have.
