This time we don't meet until the last group match. Hopefully, both countries will be through to the next round by then.
More Quotes from Sven Eriksson:
I really hope, fingers crossed, there will be no injuries, because I always said England will have a great World Cup if all the players are fit.Sven Eriksson
It is a concern but you can't worry about that because we have to beat Croatia or draw with them to go through. As a manager I can't think about leaving Rooney out and hope we win the game. He has to play and hopefully he will be clever enough not to get a yellow card.
Sven Eriksson
Talking in general, all the strikers I've had in the past 20 years, it's always a problem if they don't score in three or four games. All of them make the same small mistake. They think they must score and are stuck mentally, rather than going out to play football.
Sven Eriksson
He's extremely important as a captain, and one of the best players in the world today. If it's only a small chance that he can play, you should take it.
Sven Eriksson
I hope we can be very aggressive anyhow. Start early sometimes and wait sometimes because the heat. It's less humid in Portugal than it was in Japan. It's a big difference. The weather is good and it's not that humid so we will handle it I'm sure.
Sven Eriksson
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.
