No, Germany's UEFA Euro 2016 campaign wasn't doomed after they blew a 2-0 lead over England at the weekend. And no, the campaign isn't back on track after they beat Italy 4-1 on Tuesday.
Truth be told, international friendlies, even against bitter rivals such as the Three Lions or the Squadra Azzurra, don't matter much for Germany head coach Joachim Low.
The emphatic win in Munich's Allianz Arena was a sample with little value, considering neither lineup is likely to feature in France in the summer.
Low opted for a fluid 5-2-3 system, presumably in anticipation of a passive Italy, with a double pivot of Toni Kroos and Mesut Ozil and wing-backs Jonas Hector and Sebastian Rudy.
