"As far as I might be concerned, Germany and Brazil are as yet the benchmark as far as nations that have routinely and reliably won competitions," Southgate told a question and answer session.
"In certain regards the outcome in the late spring was neglected, I don't know why - the nature of the [Germany] group was still extremely high, World Cup victors all over, Champions League victors all over, so truly experienced at those enormous events.
"In any event, when everybody discusses the 5-1 here [in 2001], they wound up in the World Cup last on the rear of that passing effort.
"In this way, you need to regard what they've been as a nation and what they are as a country in footballing terms.
"That mindset is the thing we're attempting to make. We must continue to attempt to get to last option phases of contests. Games like [Tuesday] are splendid as far as we're concerned - that is the very sort of test we really want."

That is the very thing we had against Scotland in the Euros and I don't see that being any unique with Wales, who likewise have a few generally excellent players.
"They are where they are, they've had huge outcomes over a significant stretch of time, not least a decent disagreement the Euros too, so that will be very intense for us when it comes around."
