Jens Lehmann admits a potential World Cup final between Germany and England would be 'the greatest thing' that could happen to him.

The in-form hosts booked their ticket to the quarter-finals with an impressive 2-0 defeat of Sweden, with Lukas Podolski scoring twice in the first 12 minutes. Germany now take on either Argentina or Mexico in Berlin on Friday, but Lehmann's sights are set even higher.

"That would be a dream," he told PA Sport. "(Playing) the final anyway, but then against England, that would be the greatest for me personally. I don't know (whether they will reach it), but I hope so."
