SOUNDBITE (English) - VEDRAN CORLUKA (Croatia) - play Ireland in Poznan, Sunday 1945 GMT

"It's a really tough group. I think we have the best team of the world in our group, and Italy always have a lot of good players. Ireland haven't been in such big competitions for a long time, I know they'll be extra-motivated, but we have strength and quality in our team, I think we can go to the next stage, it will be difficult, but we'll have to believe in ourselves
"I know that if we don't go to the next stage it will not be a success, but of course, you never know. Like in EURO 2008 you were thinking it was a success to go to the next stage, but then we lost against Turkey, and we were thinking that wasn't a success. So we'll see. If you get a good team in the next stage it can be really difficult, but first goal is to qualify, and then we'll see.
"It is difficult to say, but I think that Germany and Spain are the top teams at the moment and especially proved that in the World Cup and in the qualifications for the EURO. They were the two best teams. I think it will be between the two of them and Holland, but for the player - it is a difficult question, in that kind of competition you never know, maybe a player who no one expects will play the best games of his life."
