Sven Eriksson

This will be the players' home and set the atmosphere as we prepare for all of our games. Hopefully this hotel will be the launch pad for us to achieve success in Germany.

It's like he's going out on a school pitch and saying 'give me the ball and I will enjoy myself'.

He's a big target man, good header, and he will give Michael many chances to score. I'm sure about that.

I really, really hope we can do a big, big tournament in the summer.

One of Beckham's sons is in hospital and that was the reason he stayed in Madrid.

It's almost impossible to defend against him if the right ball comes in.

I have never thought about it,

Wales made life difficult for us, especially hanging in during the first half when I thought we played well,

All the small football nations are getting better and better. When we played Macedonia everyone thought it was easy but it ended 2-2.

I thought England would be in Group A but Poland came up, so for England it was good. Going to Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan and Armenia is a long way.

He will be fit, I am sure about that. We will have time to get the fitness we want.

This time we don't meet until the last group match. Hopefully, both countries will be through to the next round by then.

It's the first time this season we are together, so that's important. I am looking forward to seeing the players and preparing for September and October.

Every time France doesn't win a football game it is a surprise. I think they (Croatia) played very, very well and it will be a tough game on Monday for us.

It will be vital preparation, only a short time before our two away games, against Austria and Poland in September.

Many times the words I say don't come out in the papers. I could have as many examples as you want.

The chairman is an old man today. He's sick.

I have spoken with the players concerned today and I have been very pleased with their reaction and am confident my relationship with them has not been damaged in any way. I would like to assure everyone, especially the fans, that I'm 100 percent committed to the England job.

The importance of this win is enormous. The performance today was up and down. We knew it would be a difficult game and that Wales would fight for every ball.

I have spoken to David James today and explained to him that, on this occasion, I think it's best not to select him,

It's a ligament injury. They don't think it's very serious but they will do a scan tomorrow.

One of Beckham's sons is in hospital and that was the reason he stayed in Madrid. He will come here tomorrow afternoon.

This season we haven't performed as we should do, and we have to do that tomorrow.

I'm almost sure, 100 percent certain that he will be fit for tomorrow. He did everything today, even shooting at the end, so he seems OK.

If you meet an opponent not concentrated you are very happy -- that's sport -- but I can promise you that we will be very focused and concentrated on the pitch tomorrow.
