Croatia is a small country up against a giant country that invented soccer and is one of the best in the game, only we believe in our strengths and our chances of winning. |
I admit I am satisfied, but I don't think it will be easy. We are not stupid enough to underestimate them. We must play two perfect games, we don't have room for error. |
Rooney and Beckham and the others are brilliant players, but we are playing against the entire team. |
Rooney is an exceptional player, but we knew that. We also know exactly how the English team plays and we can, and will, find a solution to stop both Rooney and England. |
We could have done better. We had a couple of chances which we should have converted. The Swiss are a good team. |
We haven't won. I'm not happy but I can't complain about my players, who tried very hard. |
