But he says: “These players are used to playing under pressure all the time and having to perform at a real high standard.

“There’s Champions League winners, there’s players that know what it’s like to win in an England shirt.

“They’re more rounded nowadays.

“We’re up against the team of the tournament, but I’m going to go for a 2-1 England win.”

Pearce, 62, who has been commentating on games in Germany for talkSPORT, missed from the spot against West Germany in the 1990 World Cup.

But he scored from 12 yards vs Spain at Euro 96.

He said: “I’d be confident we’d win if it went to penalties this time against Spain.”
