Sven Eriksson Best Quotations

I am quite sure we will do better but I don't think we can go out thinking we can make a draw. We have to go out to win because it is dangerous. We will try to win the game, that is the best thing we can do.

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

Frank has been slow in coming to his best but once he gets there he will stay there for the rest of the season.

He was absolutely fantastic. The development of that player - a couple of years ago you knew he would be that good. But today he was very good. I think he was our best man today.

I was disappointed it wasn't reported that I said Rio Ferdinand was the best defender in the world and that Wayne Rooney was the best footballer in the world.

We are meeting one of the best teams in the world. It's important for our confidence that we do well in this game and important for the England fans as well. If they see we can play good football against Argentina it gives us more hope for next summer.

It's the right decision. We are one of the teams who have the potential to do very well in Germany and we have some of the best players in the world. Finishing top of our qualification group with the second-best record in the whole of Europe was a big achievement.

It was not the best football I have ever seen but the conditions were very difficult. To get six points in four days and keep two clean sheets is very good.

I'm very open-minded. What is important is that I pick the 23 best players.

I'm told it's not the same injury as before but I haven't been able to check it out yet. But I can say that we will wait a long time to rule him out because he is one of the best defenders in the world today.

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.
