Northern Ireland striker Josh Magennis has warned Germany that they cannot afford to underestimate the Green Army after they beat Ukraine on Thursday night.
The victory in Lyon has given Michael O'Neill's side a chance of progression to the knockout stages of Euro 2016, and Magennis says that he and his teammates recognise that they can make an impact against the world champions.
The 25-year-old told reporters: "We know now, and most importantly the other teams know now, we are a formidable force.
"They can't write us off as just being Northern Ireland or underestimating us or disrespecting us. If they do, that type of performance proved we will damage most teams.
"As a person your ego never wants to take a hit, regardless of what you say. We are an effective team the way we play, we know we are not going to be an 80 per cent possession-based team. It's all about making the right decisions at the right times. That's what we proved."
A point against Germany is likely to be enough for Northern Ireland to finish as one of the best third-placed teams.
