Manuel Neuer fully aware of Netherlands threat

Neuer: Germany know what to expect

Germany and Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer is confident that his national teammates can expose the Netherlands' weaknesses.

The two sides meet for another mouth-watering Group B clash tomorrow, with Germany three points clear of their Dutch rivals in the table following a 1-0 win over Portugal.

"I grew up in Westfalen, which is close to the Dutch border," Neuer told dfb.de. "I have also holidayed there and I played with a lot of Dutch players at Schalke.

"At Bayern I play with Arjen Robben, who is a great reference point. When I was young, I attended a match between Germany and Netherlands. The atmiosphere was great. For the fans, this game is very special.

"Of course we know all about their strengths. I am happy that we will play against them in this tournament."

Germany can all but secure their place in the quarter-finals of the European Championships with a victory tomorrow.
