Croatia prepare to play the Czech Republic on Friday (17th June).

SOUNDBITE: (Croatian) Ante Cacic, Croatia Coach (Q: What do you think of Czech republic? )

"The Czech Republic is a really quality team. Tomas Rosicky is of course the main player and leader of their squad, he's their play maker. This means he's the main factor that we need to be aware of as he is also the most experienced player. We'll have to defend well against him. Having said that, both teams will have to to think about defending well, not only us.".

SOUNDBITE: (Croatian) Darijo Srna, Croatia defender (Q: What do you fear the most Czech Republic defence or attack? )

"They have their own version of Luka Modric and his name is Tomas Rosicky. They are a very discplined team which results in them having a very strong defense to rely on. They've got good players that are capable on the counter attack as well. They also have a good experienced coach and he's trying to get the absolute maximum out of this team. They're very strong on the pitch, with strong players. Of course tomorrow our objective will be to try and win the match and we're expecting a difficult game in the process. But if we can repeat the performance that we put in against Turkey then I believe that we can hope a positive result. ".
