We are confident that Slovenia are a team that we can beat, and it's like a final for us. If we draw the game we are still alive, and if we lose the game it's highly unlikely we will advance, and we know if we win the game we are in a very good position, so this is as big a game as we will ever play. The guys are excited and ready for it."
