While Alli is all but certain of a trip to France this summer, plenty of the players on show tonight need to grasp their opportunity.One such man is Eric Dier. He's excelled for Spurs this season but, according to Roy Hodgson, is still living in Jack Wilshere's shadow.

"I've been very impressed so have called him [Dier] up with Danny Drinkwater, who does a similar job for Leicester City," said the England boss.

"They're still in the shadow of Jack Wilshere, who did so well for us before his injury.

"If all three were available for the Euros, that'd be a nice headache because there might not be space for all three."

Is Eric Dier still in Jack Wilshere's shadow?

[26 March 2016 19:17 · Sam Long]

Germany boss Joachim Low has assessed England progress in his pre-match comments."England have developed very well under Roy Hodgson - he is an experienced manager, sets up his teams very well and makes it difficult to find a way through.

"They showed this through their results in qualification, they counter attack well, and have improved in recent years.

"The result [tonight] is not the most important thing,  If I am able to learn a bit more about my players, then I will be satisfied."

England have played Germany in Berlin eight times and are yet to lose a game there.Not a bad record that, is it?

But can you remember the last visit....

[26 March 2016 19:24 · Sam Long]

It was way back in 2008 and goals from Matthew Upson and John Terry secured a 2-1 victory for the Three Lions.

Give yourself a pat on the back if you remembered that.

[26 March 2016 19:25 · Sam Long]

Here's the England team from that day....England team: James (Carson), Johnson, Terry, Upson, Bridge, Wright-Phillips (Crouch), Carrick, Barry, Downing, Defoe (Bent), Agbonlahor (Young).

Subs Not Used: Robinson, Lescott, Richards, Mancienne, Davies, Parker, Bullard.

Two words to describe some of that lot? Bang average.

Not a bad showing from England during the first half. The goal was an unfortunate one.In truth if Butland knew he was injured he should have gone down and play could have been stopped but you have to feel for him.

The Germans capitalised and Hodgson's boys have it all to do.
