Miroslav BLAZEVIC :

"For our first time in the World Cup, I'm very proud of our performances. Tomorrow, we'll do everything possible to knock-out the reigning European champions. As for the winning team against ROMANIA (1-0), Zvonimir SOLDO(14) will replace Krunoslav JURCIC (21), but he will play as a defensive midfielder. GERMANY will be very tough opponents to beat, even if for me FRANCE and BRAZIL are still the favourites. It would on the other hand be a great pleasure to meet FRANCE in the semi-final."
