"If Spain had played their first two matches the way they played tonight, they would not have had any problems" Joao Havelange, President of FIFA   " All the team feel involved because, for us, you need 22 players to win a World Cup. " Alain Boghossian, after France - Danemark   " The last 16 match will be an all-or-nothing situation where anything can happen. However, with the confidence that we've built up, we can move on with a positive outlook. " Aimé Jacquet, after the first round	" We can tell our fans that we did all we could to qualify. If it didn't work, it can be put down to bad luck alone, and not because of a lack of desire " Spanish coach J. Clemente after his sides elimination in the 1st stage   " For the next match against Nigeria, we may change our tactics. I know this team well, and their style of play suits our game. They will be the favourites and we will be the underdogs. We like being in this position and are hopeful of a positive result. " Bo Johansson, after Denmark qualified for the next round   " Paraguay are lucky to have a goalkeeper like Chilavert " Bora Milutinovic after Nigerias defeat at the hands of Paraguay
