Lukas Podolski has claimed his team have nothing to fear from
England, but feels one of the pre-tournament favourites deserves respect.
"It would be a terrible mistake to underestimate them just because they had a few problems in their group," said
Podolski.
He went on to describe how
Germany is preparing ahead of SUnday afternoon's clash:
"We'll be studying videos of their recent games, we'll analyse their strengths and weaknesses, and we'll prepare accordingly. Obviously you've got to be wary of
Wayne Rooney up front, and they have
Steven Gerrard and
Frank Lampard in midfield. These are good players, and we'll need to be on our guard.
The match will take place at 4:00 PM (CET) at
Free State Stadium in Bloemfontein.
