Hodgson challenges England to match Germany class

England coach Roy Hodgson has challenged his players to prove themselves against Germany tomorrow night.

Hodgson will bring back his big names against a side ranked second in the world.

Hodgson said: "I am sure the 11 who go out on Tuesday will be anxious to show they are every bit as good as Germany and that is what I believe they will be.

"Germany are a good team and, since the World Cup in 2006, they have spent those years fruitfully.

"I am sure Germany will come here with enormous confidence, and they are going to ask massive questions of us. I can only hope we have brushed ourselves down and we are ready to take them on.

"We won't dwell on the negatives of Chile, but we are not prepared to ignore them either. We are not prepared to fool ourselves and things could be an awful lot better."
