stick that in yer pipe and smoke....

FRANZ BECKENBAUER
"I am very sure that we are going to win this game. We are as good as, if
not better than, Sven Goran Eriksson's side. I am sure that we are better
prepared for this match than England. We will beat England."

CARSTEN JANCKER
"We don't have to worry about single players such as Michael Owen or Emile
Heskey. We have a stronger team and that is what counts."

STEFFEN EFFENBERG
"Steven who? I don't know him. I am not interested in England, or who is in
their squad. I don't have time. I have better things to do."

SEBASTIAN DEISLER
"I am glad that David Beckham will be fit. Now England will have no excuses
when we beat them."

ULI HOENESS
"How are England going to win in Germany? It hasn't happened for 100 years.
"I have no doubts whatsoever that Germany will quite clearly thrash
England.

ULI STIELICKE
"Judging from his potential Deisler is a better player than Beckham. He is
perfect technically, his crosses are precise, he is dangerous in front of
goal, has excellent vision and he is quicker than Beckham."
