Southgate sent 'failure' warning by England predecessor Hoddle ahead of meeting with 'weaker' Germany

The man that took charge of the Three Lions at the 1998 World Cup believes Euro 2020 progress has to be secured against their rivals

Gareth Southgate has been warned by England predecessor Glenn Hoddle that he faces becoming a "failure" unless the Three Lions make their way past "weaker" Germany at Euro 2020.

The European Championship showdown between two old adversaries is set to take place at Wembley on Tuesday.

Both teams have their sights set on the quarter-finals, but Hoddle says Southgate's men need to make the most of being "favourites" in a side of the draw that is starting to open up.
