We have a lot of respect for them. We know all the players very well.[LNB]"They are playing for the big teams in maybe the best league in the world. It will be a good game for both sides to see the level they are at because we are so close to the World Cup now.[LNB]"Is this England's best chance of winning the World Cup? I think so. Of course, England have always had a good squad but I think the last results have really shown the quality.[LNB]"Now they play as a team.
