Sven Eriksson Win Quotations

My dream is the same as your dream, and all the fans and the players - to win a big tournament. We've gone out of two tournaments on marginal, almost nothing. In eight months, we start the big party again.

If we go on like this, we will win the group.

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 always been very confident we can win the World Cup.

I always said we have to do better than we did in Japan, and that was the quarter-finals, but I also said if we had the players who are fit I think we have a squad who can win the World Cup. I think we are that good, I believe it and the important thing is the players believe it, they believe it much more today than four years ago.

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.

I think we played very well. They scored a fantastic goal but we created the chances during the 90 minutes and I'm very happy we could win in the end.

We have to try and win the ball early even the weather is a little bit against it. We have to be as motivated and concentrated as we were against France for 93 minutes if we want to beat Switzerland. It's not going to be easy at all, absolutely not.

We all have knives to our necks, if we want to play in the World Cup. I'm sure they and we will respond in a very positive way. I could not even dream of not qualifying for the World Cup. We have to win those two games. I have no doubts that the players are good enough.

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.

I've always said we're one of five teams that can win it and if all our players are fit and healthy, I think we'll do very well.

It's more important now to win and get the three points in Poland.

If you put the ball up there, he will win it,

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.
