Sven Eriksson Avoid Quotations

I had hoped to avoid Sweden. Here in England everyone is counting on a win, despite not having won against Sweden since 1968.

If we can avoid injuries, the only question is probably which centre-backs I will choose.

It's not an easy group, but it could have been worse, much worse. I asked to avoid the Netherlands and we did that and I asked to avoid Australia and we did that as well.
