Klopp: It would be crazy to write off Germany despite Hungary struggles

The Liverpool boss is optimistic about his country's chances of beating England to reach the Euro 2020 quarter-finals

Jurgen Klopp says it "would be crazy to write off" Germany at the European Championships, despite their struggles against Hungary in their final group stage outing.

Germany qualified for the Euro 2020 knockout stages after finishing second in the fabled 'group of death' behind world champions France, with Portugal also progressing as one of the four best third-placed teams.

Joachim Low's side impressed during a narrow defeat to France before producing a stellar display to beat Portugal 4-2, but underwhelmed in a 2-2 draw with Hungary, with questions now being asked of whether they have the quality to get past England in the round of 16.
