Sven Eriksson Last Quotations

It has been a difficult start to the season for us but, together with our victory over Austria, this is the reward for all the hard work that has been done over the last year.

I think if it is tactical things that have gone wrong then you talk about it. What happened last night, I don't think you talk about that. It happens, unfortunately.

When it came to the last 10 minutes, I think we controlled it and they seemed to be out of ideas. Then, when we thought we won the game, it's a bit of a delusion to draw it. And, of course, the delusion is even bigger to lose it.

I should be happy if we can go on playing like we did, I think we played a fantastic game yesterday. If you take away the last three minutes of extra-time, they did exactly what we asked them to do. Knowing the English mentality, I think they will look forward to Thursday.

This time we don't meet until the last group match. Hopefully, both countries will be through to the next round by then.

It's very good because if you remember 3 1/2 years ago at the last World Cup, every second half we never scored a goal in five games. Now we are scoring goals in the second half. It gives confidence, a winning mentality.

You can't argue with their choice. He is one of the most improved players I have seen in the last few years.
