Yes, that's what I meant. They wouldn't have been able to lean on the counter as much. Not to mention the psychological shock the Germans would have surely felt of being 2-0 ahead and then within a minute conceding 2 goals making it even again.
Mind, it was still bad tactics from England having 9 men in front of the ball during that free-kick that led-in the Germans counter-attacking to 3-1. You only take that many risks in the last 5-10 minutes, not when there's still half an hour to play.
What do you think Capello will/should do?
