Buoyant Germans better than England, insists Reus

Midfielder Marco Reus has said Germany have proved they are the team to beat ahead of Thursday's Euro 2012 semi-final and insisted the Germans are better than possible opponents England.

"I still think we have the better squad, both individually and as a team.

"The European title is in our hands.

"I think England have stepped up and exceeded everyone's expectations, also they have added Wayne Rooney to their line-up," said the 23-year-old who will join German champions Borussia Dortmund next season.
