Cundy says the Die Mannschaft are not a top side as they used to be and the Three Lions must take advantage to beat them.
England reached the knockout stage after topping Group D with a 1-0 win over Czech Republic on Tuesday whereas Joachim Lows’ men secured a second place finish in Group F after digging deep to secure a 2-2 draw against Hungary on Wednesday night.
Germany have been England’s boogey team in recent times, having knocked the English men out in several tournaments.
The last time both teams met in this competition was in the 1996 Euros semi-final when the Germans overcame England on penalties en route to winning the cup after beating Czech Republic in the final.
After seeing Germany draw against Hungary at the Allianz Arena, Cundy is confident England can stand the three-time champions.
“Based on what I saw tonight, they are not the scary Germany we’ve seen in the past,” Cundy said on The Sports Bar.
“They were going out tonight and were getting beaten by Hungary. This is not the scariest Germany side I’ve seen.
“If ever there’s been a reason to play and not have to justify playing Raheem Sterling to anyone, it’s this game.
“Mats Hummels looks like he’s running in treacle and they play three at the back.
“We know who they have and the quality they have. Havertz had an off day today, but was brilliant when they beat Portugal 4-2.
“Sane was dreadful. If you think of someone who has the quality in big games, Toni Kroos is it.
“It’s not the German side of the past where you think ‘wow’. They are going to be tough, but I don’t think they have anything we’ll be shaking in our boots about.
“When you play three at the back, the obvious space is in behind the wing-backs. Germany are going to push their wing-backs forward and play high. They are an attacking side.
“I believe that is where we can genuinely hurt them. You would love a 1-vs-1 with Hummels.”
