England are 'easiest opponent so far' at Euro 2020 for Germany, claims Effenberg

The former midfielder says all of the pressure is on the Three Lions ahead of the heavyweight last-16 clash at Wembley

Stefan Effenberg has claimed that England are Germany's "easiest opponent so far" at Euro 2020.

Germany progressed to the round of 16 by finishing second in Group F, one point behind world champions France, and are now looking forward to a meeting with arch-rivals England at Wembley.

Joachim Low's side impressed in a narrow defeat to France and 4-2 victory over holders Portugal before scraping a draw against Hungary, with Effenberg now convinced that they can come through what he perceives to be a more straightforward test against the Three Lions.
