best clean conditions days football four points seen sheets six
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.
five gives goal goals good half last remember scoring second winning
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.
asked australia avoid easy
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.

four past problem rather score small stuck talking three
Talking in general, all the strikers I've had in the past 20 years, it's always a problem if they don't score in three or four games. All of them make the same small mistake. They think they must score and are stuck mentally, rather than going out to play football.

It will be vital preparation, only a short time before our two away games, against Austria and Poland in September.

It was good to see some new players on the pitch and of course you have to evaluate them for the future.

It's like he's going out on a school pitch and saying 'give me the ball and I will enjoy myself'.
goal michael past played together tournament worried
Together they have played well in the past and I think they are doing well. Michael Owen has not scored a goal in this tournament yet, but he will score. I'm not worried about that.
countries difficult week
To have the same preparation as all the other countries is important. It would have been very difficult to have one week less.
