Franz Beckenbauer: 'We have no fear'

Former German international Franz Beckenbauer backs his nation to win Euro 2012.

Former German international Franz Beckenbauer believes that Germany have the quality to beat any side at Euro 2012.

Joachim Low's side secured their spot in the semi-finals with a 4-2 win over Greece to extend their winning run to 15 competitive games.

"I can hardly see any weak links in the German team. When you've won all your competitive games since the semi-final at the 2010 World Cup, you don't have to fear any opponent," Beckenbauer told Bild.

"Germany were overwhelming against the Greeks, and could have been 4-0 up at half time. Their performance was a clear signal towards their rivals for the European title.

"Next up will now be either England or Italy. Although Italy have been our nemesis at big tournaments and defeated us at the 2006 World Cup, things will be different this time around. It doesn't really matter who our next opponents are."

Germany will face either England or Italy in the next round on June 28.
