Having already secured their place at next year's Brazil finals, Roy Hodgson's men are looking to keep themselves sharp with a series of friendly matches, although their most recent outing ended in a 2-0 defeat to Chile.
Rooney, though, believes this week's clash against Germany will prove a much different experience, saying: "It's nice to beat anyone, but especially the Germans. It's always nice when you beat them.
"It's great when you beat the big teams.
When we beat Brazil here (in February) it gave everybody a lift and to get the draw away at Brazil (in June) was a great result
for us.
"It's important that we try to win the game but I think it's important we try to deliver what the manager wants from us on the pitch.
"Against Chile we did some good things but they caught us by surprise with the way they played.
"That has gone now and we have to look forward to the game coming up on Tuesday.
"It will be a completely different game. It will be a game we're used to a bit more.
The Germany game will be more similar to a Premier League game.
"They are a great team with some good players and it will be a big test for us.
"The biggest thing they've got is that they are a team. They all know their jobs and that's why they're so difficult to play against."
