> > The boys on the pitch were fantastic, but the fans were amazing. I could hear them above the England supporters. > > > "We have improved in terms of retaining possession and this was probably our best game. Defensively we didn't have too much problem with England and we created a few chances. We still haven't shown what we can do and hopefully our best game is still to come. > > > "The equaliser was the key moment. Answering right back had more of an effect on England than their goal did on us. Their plan was to shut us off from the beginning and they probably thought they did that. If we hadn't done that, I don't know how the game would have panned out. Psychologically it was very important. > > > "The boys were ready today, for this opportunity that was put in our hands. This will be a day we'll talk about for the rest of our lives. > > >
