Germany not underdogs vs France, says Neuer

The goalkeeper has backed his side to go toe-to-toe with the tournament favourites

Germany goalkeeper Manuel Neuer says his team doesn't feel like they are underdogs as they prepare to do battle with reigning world champions France.

Tuesday's group stage opener is a battle between the last two World Cup winners, with many seeing France, in particular, as a team favoured to win the Euros this summer.

But Neuer believes Germany are a team worth backing, too, as he believes Tuesday's game should be fairly even.
