"England and Germany eagerly await the European Championship quarter-final match. These two national teams will clash in a principled duel at the 'Wembley' stadium, and the upcoming match is called a true dessert of this stage. However, well-known German analyst and former player Dietmar Hamann explains it slightly differently. 'Our biggest rivals were always those who gave our national team the biggest challenge. It could be named France, for many years it was Argentina, with whom we played in World Cup finals, semi-finals or quarter-finals. Then I would point out the matches against Spain. Of course, the history of matches against the English prevails, and we especially remember the 1996 European Championship. I understand that everyone is waiting for this match, but it is one of the bigger matches for the English, not the Germans,' - said D. Hamann. England and Germany will face off on Tuesday at 7:00 pm in London."
