It was in the height of summer in the Euros 12 months ago when England beat their biggest football rival at Wembley. The Three Lions finally overcame Germany in a knockout tournament to reach the quarter-finals and, in beating a heavyweight nation, it convinced Stones and his teammates they were a force to be reckoned with.
Now, they face Germany again in the Allianz Arena hoping for another morale-boosting victory and performance which will set the mood just six months before the World Cup. Stones, 28, said: "I think it was probably the turning point in that tournament of feeling the belief that we could go on and try and win this.
