SOUNDBITE (English) Steven Gerrard ,Captain, England:

"I think it's time to start getting excited and really looking forward to it. It will be here before we know it and it's a time when, as a player, you want to try and either continue to impress the manager or grasp your opportunity to impress. That's the chance tomorrow. Try and win the game and play well personally and for the team and make sure the manager doesn't leave you out of the 23."
