England have twice lost to Germany on penalties at major tournaments, though Hoddle believes that spot-kicks should no longer be feared should they be required on Tuesday evening.

“I don’t care who it’s against, we won a penalty shootout. Now we’re a bit more positive and there’s more belief.
“It’s all about keeping your nerve. It’s about these young guns going there and embracing it, looking forward to it. If you approach it like that you become fearless.”
