SOUNDBITE (English): Vladimir Weiss, Slovakia midfielder

(Q: How important the win over Russia was important for the team and also for the country?)

"It was the crucial win that we needed because we needed that if we wanted to get through. We have to win against Russia and to get something against England. We were hoping to get the three points and we got it at the end. I think we got a lot of confidence and energy from the game going into the last one."

SOUNDBITE (English): Vladimir Weiss, Slovakia midfielder

(Q: What do you think about the English team? Is there a player that you fear the most?)

"No, I think they are going to have changes in their squad. I think Sturridge and Vardy are gonna play up front. But you know at this level you can't concentrate on one or two players. England are very big and good squad. They have two world class player on each position. So whoever plays, we have to get on with it. Try focus on our game to do the best that we can."

SOUNDBITE (English): Yan Gregus, Slovakia midfielder

(Q: What do you have to do to win against a big team like England?)

"We're going to see in the game. But if we play like our last game against Russia, we can be successful."
