The second match between the English football team and a representative German eleven began here this morning shortly before eleven o'clock.   The Englishmen did not put quite such a strong team into the field to-day, and they showed slight signs of fatigue. The Germans had a slightly stronger team than yesterday, and showed more combination and more method in their attack. There was a strong wind blowing.   The Englishmen at the very start forced the ball to their opponents' goal, scoring within the first ten minutes. After Rogers had dribbled the ball down the centre an exciting mélee followed near the German goal, and then Forman shot a second goal. Good play on the part of the home team resulted in their scoring a goal, after which the English forwards, among whom Rogers and Taylor, the Cambridge blue were conspicuous, forced the game, and half-time arrived with the score standing at five goals to one.   In the second half the game was faster. Both sides warming to their work, and Rogers in particular showing fine play. The English goal-keeper, who had little to do, allowed a shot to get past him. In the last 20 minutes the English attack was very strong, Rogers, who shot five goals, again excelling, as did also Taylor, Wilson, and Forman. At the call of time the Englishmen had scored 10 goals and the Germans two.   Rohts, one of the German half-backs, played with great dash, and showed much precision in stopping rushes. Bassett was suffering from a sore throat, and scarcely did himself justice.   At the end of the game the Englishmen heartily cheered their opponents, who cordially responded. The visitors are delighted with their reception in Berlin. They leave to-night for Prague.

 

The English football team in Germany are apparently having a good time. They have the two matches played in Berlin by 13 goals to to 2 and 10 to 2. They are evidently teaching the Germans something. Who knows, but England v. Germany may not be a great international in years to come.
