Roy Hodgson: 'England are as good as Germany'

Roy Hodgson has insisted that England will prove that they are every bit as good as Germany when they clash in a friendly on Tuesday night.

The Three Lions were comfortably beaten 2-0 by Chile at Wembley on Friday night, and come up against a German outfit resting a number of key players in the capital this week.

"Germany will ask massive questions of us," said Hodgson in a press conference.

"But I am pretty sure that all of the XI who go out on Tuesday night will be anxious that they put any comparisons [with Germany) to bed.

"They will show they are every bit as good and that is what I believe they will be."

England host Germany at Wembley on Tuesday.
