Aleksandrs Starkovs Quotations

He is still preparing for tomorrow's match and the decision will be taken tomorrow.

Our tactics were successful. We played counter-attacking football. The Turkish crowd for their part were great. They applauded us... That doesn't happen everywhere.

The 17th team at the tournament are the referees. We will see where they end up in the final standings.

We can play attacking football. But, we can play like with Germany (defensively), and still create more chances than our opponents.

We'll try our best, but it will be hard. They are definitely stronger than Sweden at the moment.

We've created a sensation in Europe. Turkey were favorites and I'm very happy that we won.

We have shown that we can play big teams. We have a realistic chance of reaching the quarterfinals.

They taught Portugal a lesson. They played very good defensively and had their share of luck. We're hoping for the same.

It was a historic win. I can't believe it and I don't know how to act.

Slovakia deserved to win today... The decisive factor was that we were without some key players, which was reflected in the game.
