Steven Gerrard: "I've got a feeling we might have to go to penalties at some point.
"As a player at a World Cup, you've got to be prepared for a shoot-out. It's as simple as that.
"We're in the last 16 and the games, when you get further into a tournament are so tight. Hopefully we get a bit more luck this time - and I take a better penalty.
"When you practice penalties in training you pick a ball up and shoot within a few seconds.
"But in the World Cup it's a 30-second walk from the halfway line when you've got millions and millions of viewers back home wanting you to score? You can't prepare for that.
"But what you can do is be ready and not shy away from it and have the bottle to step up there for another go - especially when you've missed one before.
"All I can say is 'I'll be ready.' It is massive pressure. I didn't handle it in 2006.
"If I'm put in that situation again I will try and deal with the pressure a lot better.
"The manager is on to the penalty takers to make sure we're doing it properly in training and not messing around.
"He wants us to do in training what we do in a game. He said 'pick a spot and not change your mind."'
Fabio Capello believes England are hitting top form at just the right time.
Fabio Capello: "Against Slovenia we did really very well in every area of the pitch.
"The positions we took up were very good. We won back the ball and played quickly.
"The passing was really dangerous and we switched the ball quickly.
"In the other games we lost the ball a lot but this time we managed to keep hold of it. Overall I am very happy.
"I decided on Milner because we needed the extra movement when we didn't have the ball.
"He created space for Glen Johnson and, overall, played very well.
"You have to take into account which defenders are on the other side.
"I chose Defoe because he has trained very well. He is in good form at this moment and, in front of goal, he is very important."
PARAGUAY 0 NEW ZEALAND 0
New Zealand's World Cup fairytale came to an end at the Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane after a goalless draw with Paraguay - but they return home better for the experience.
In the end it was not All White on the night for Ricki Herbert's side as Slovakia's win over Italy meant the Europeans sneaked into second spot.
But New Zealand finished Group F unbeaten, having drawn with defending champions Italy and a talented Paraguay team who qualified ahead of Argentina in South America.
And another resolute performance by a nation playing at only their second World Cup - the first coming in 1982 when they lost all three matches and conceded 12 goals - will have at least given the fans back home who stayed up for the 2am kick-off New Zealand time something to cheer.
New Zealand's game-plan, as it had been all along, was to keep things locked down at the back.
Their five-man defence, marshalled by Blackburn's Ryan Nelsen, was supplemented by holding midfielders Ivan Vicelich and Simon Elliot sitting just a few yards in front.
Playing for the first time in the tournament in the black shirts so synonymous with the country's rugby team, they began well.
Shane Smeltz, who attained hero status by scoring in the 1-1 draw with Italy, blazed wildly over from outside the penalty area in the fifth minute while Middlesbrough's Chris Killen was only inches away from connecting with Elliott's hanging free-kick to the far post.
When the space did open up for Paraguay Nelson Valdez overhit his cross from the left while Denis Caniza followed suit with a volley after Manchester City striker Roque Santa Cruz had lifted the ball over Tony Lochhead.
It said a lot about New Zealand's tactics that right-back Caniza was getting all the chances as he hit a 20-yard swerving shot over the angle of crossbar and post and then dropped a dipping drive onto the roof of Mark Paston's net.
Benfica striker Oscar Cardozo also blasted over as Paraguay finished the half on top.
New Zealand returned early after the interval and it was immediately apparent Herbert had released some of the shackles with Lochhead given more licence to get forward.
It almost paid off within three minutes of the restart when the left-back's cross deflected into the path of Elliott whose strike fizzed past Justo Villar's right-hand post.
Nelsen was booked for halting the run of former Blackburn team-mate Santa Cruz in the 57th minute but Cardozo's free-kick was disappointing.
Paston, who had been relatively untroubled, produced an instinctive save from new Sunderland midfielder Cristian Riveros' diving header as the South American's quality began to tell.
His heroics continued as he dived low to his right to parry substitute Edgar Benitez's shot and brilliantly tipped the ball away from Lucas Barrios when he seemed certain to score.
The last 10 minutes should have seen the charge of the All White Brigade but they had exerted so much energy in keeping Paraguay at bay there was little left in the tank.
But another draw ensured they finished above four-time World Cup winners Italy in third place and that does them great credit, while their opponents today finished on top of Group F.

SLOVAKIA 3 ITALY 2
Champions Italy crashed out of the World Cup as first-time qualifiers Slovakia booked a surprising place in the last 16, with English referee Howard Webb and his assistants denying the Azzurri an equaliser with the tightest of offside decisions.
Robert Vittek's brace put Slovakia in control but Antonio Di Natale halved the deficit and Fabio Quagliarella looked like he had levelled it at 2-2, but an offside decision went against him.
Substitute Kamil Kopunek made it 3-1 to Slovakia before Quagliarella's brilliant lob gave Italy fleeting hope, but they could not find a third to save their skins and joined fellow 2006 finalists France in bowing out of the tournament.
Italy started positively enough with Di Natale's volley almost catching out Slovakia goalkeeper Jan Mucha inside the first 30 seconds.
Vincenzo Iaquinta then dragged a shot well wide after good link-up play with Di Natale before Napoli midfielder Marek Hamsik, Slovakia's star man and captain, miscued a volley after the ball was flicked on to him by Vittek.
Iaquinta had the ball in the net after 10 minutes but Webb had already blown for a foul by the Juventus forward on defender Jan Durica in the box.
Webb produced his first yellow card for Slovakia midfielder Zdenko Strba, who caught the hard-tackling Gennaro Gattuso late.
Slovakia had to win to go through and they forged ahead in the 25th minute when Daniele De Rossi's stray pass was picked up by Juraj Kucka and he rolled a pass forward to Vittek who directed a low right-foot shot past Italy goalkeeper Federico Marchetti from the edge of the box.
Strba could have made it 2-0 with a fierce 30-yard drive which Marchetti had to dive to his right to push wide for a corner as the half entered its final 10 minutes. Italy were lacking in inspiration and a speculative Riccardo Montolivo effort from long range drifted harmlessly wide.
Liverpool defender Martin Skrtel had to head over his own crossbar from a floated Gattuso cross, and the AC Milan battler then cut open Strba's knee in a tackle. The midfielder asked to continue though, with substitute Kamil Kopunek returning to his seat.
Slovakia ended the half on a high and almost conjured the goal of the tournament when Vittek cleverly worked the ball back to Kucka for a viciously-struck volley which flashed into the side-netting.
Italy brought on forward Quagliarella for Gattuso and Christian Maggio for Domenico Criscito at half-time and they created the first opening of the second half when Iaquinta headed off target from a Simone Pepe cross.
Di Natale should have done better when played in by Maggio after 55 minutes, skewing a shot wide with only Mucha to beat. The biggest Italian cheer of the afternoon to that point greeted Andrea Pirlo's introduction in place of Montolivo, as Azzurri fans hoped he held the key to their revival in the match.
Di Natale hit 29 Serie A goals for Udinese last season but could not find a way past Slovakia as a curling shot from the edge of the box was held by Mucha.
Italy came within a whisker of an equaliser when Pepe's cross sailed over Mucha's head and Quagliarella fired goalwards with the keeper committed, but Skrtel got back to block on the goalline.
The holders were taking more chances, allowing Slovakia to find more space on the break and Miroslav Stoch flashed one shot across Marchetti's goal.
The game looked up for the champions though in the 73rd minute when Hamsik half-volleyed the ball across from the right and Vittek got to it before Giorgio Chiellini to steer it in at the near post.
Italy pulled one back with nine minutes to go after a clever one-two with Iaquinta played Quagliarella in and when Mucha parried his shot, Di Natale was on hand to prod the ball in. There was then a skirmish inside the goal as Quagliarella scrapped with Mucha to retrieve the ball, with Webb booking both men.
Quagliarella thought he had equalised when he turned home a Di Natale cross from the left, but the Napoli man was flagged offside in the tightest of decisions.
A throw-in by Peter Pekarik then caught Italy sleeping and substitute Kopunek raced through to lob the ball over Marchetti.
Quagliarella pulled one back with a sublime lob but Pepe fluffed their final chance deep into stoppage time.

DENMARK 1 JAPAN 3
Japan booked their place in the last 16 of the World Cup after outstanding first-half free-kicks from Keisuke Honda and Yasuhito Endo sent them on their way to victory over Denmark in Rustenburg.
Needing only a draw to qualify from Group E, the Asian side took the lead in the 17th minute when CSKA Moscow midfielder Honda bent in his set-piece from 30 yards out on the right.
Although not as spectacular, Endo's 20-yard effort followed on the half-hour mark when the outstretched Thomas Sorensen was beaten for the second time.
Jon Dahl Tomasson saw his penalty saved nine minutes from the end, but bundled in the rebound to give his side a glimmer of hope, only for Shinji Okazaki to seal Japan's triumph and book a last-16 tie against Paraguay.
Japan coach Takeshi Okada named an unchanged team for the third match in succession, while his counterpart Morten Olsen was boosted by the availability of Nicklas Bendtner, who passed a late fitness test.
Per Kroldrup was drafted in for the suspended Simon Kjaer, with Jesper Gronkjaer replaced by Thomas Kahlenberg.
The Scandinavians had the first real chance inside five minutes, but Tomasson found himself in the wrong position as he tried to deal with a deflected Simon Poulsen cross and the chance went begging.
Yoshito Okubo then sent in a low cross from the left that was flicked on nicely by Daisuke Matsui 10 yards out, only for Sorensen to intervene outstandingly with his feet.
Moments later Makoto Hasebe latched on to a defence-splitting pass, but wastefully shot over.
At the other end captain Tomasson was again played in, on the left side of the box this time, but his low shot curled agonisingly wide.
The deadlock was broken the next time Japan went upfield thanks to Honda's stunning free-kick, his second goal so far at the finals.
It came after Matsui was fouled 30 yards out on the right and a curling and dipping shot was sent over the wall into the far corner beyond an outstretched Sorensen.
Tomasson had his third chance inside the opening quarter when Christian Poulsen lifted the ball over the defence, but the Feyenoord frontman failed to connect cleanly and Eiji Kawashima parried the ball away to safety.
Endo then made it 2-0 when he bent his free-kick around the wall into the right-hand corner.
After Christian Poulsen tried his luck from distance, Sorensen prevented his side falling further behind before half-time when he tipped over Yuichi Komano's effort from the right.
The Stoke goalkeeper was saved from embarrassment by his right-hand upright less than three minutes after the restart when he spilt a routine catch from an Endo free-kick.
Kahlenberg then seemed to be taken by surprise when the ball came to him at the back post, guiding the ball wide from a tight angle, while Tomasson was again let down by his control in the six-yard box after Lars Jacobsen swung over a useful cross from the right.
Denmark continued to pile on the pressure and substitute Jakob Poulsen was next to come close, with his long-range effort punched away by Kawashima.
Christian Eriksen, another replacement, then saw his strike from outside the box fade away as the Danes looked short of ideas.
When they did manage to get into the penalty area, the out-of-form Tomasson, on a 15-match goal drought before tonight, was unable to convert.
With 11 minutes to play, another effort from distance by Soren Larsen left the cross-bar shaking, but seconds later Tomasson finally managed to hit the back of the net.
After Daniel Agger received a shove in the back to win a penalty, the veteran striker saw his shot stopped by Kawashima, but the rebound was unconvincingly sliced hope.
It gave Denmark hope, but substitute Okazaki killed their spirit in the 87th minute when Honda teed him up to send Japan through.

CAMEROON 1 HOLLAND 2
Holland made it three wins from as many World Cup Group E matches with victory in their dead rubber against Cameroon in Cape Town.
With Holland already through to the last 16 and Cameroon out, it took Robin van Persie's 36th-minute flash of inspiration to get things going.
Samuel Eto'o's second-half penalty levelled matters until substitute Klaas Jan Huntelaar's 82nd-minute winner continued the group winners' momentum heading into a last-16 clash with Slovakia.
Holland came into the match on an unbeaten run of 21 international matches and had produced wins against Denmark and Japan to secure their progression.
Bert van Marwijk opted not to risk starting with Arjen Robben, who was yet to feature due to a hamstring problem, while Van Persie and Nigel de Jong were included despite being a booking away from suspension.
Rafael van der Vaart dragged one wide for Holland early on and Cameroon's Aurelien Chedjou fired a weak effort at Maarten Stekelenburg.
Dirk Kuyt picked up a needless booking before Van Persie could only fire straight at Hamidou Souleymanou after brilliantly setting himself up by chesting down Giovanni van Bronckhorst's chip forward.
In the 31st minute Cameroon midfielder Jean Makoun headed over from Geremi's cross before Kuyt dragged one wide for Holland.
Finally the crowd had something to cheer after 35 minutes when Van Persie opened the scoring, playing a neat one-two with Van der Vaart before firing between Souleymanou's legs.
After five minutes of the second half Mark van Bommel played a nice sweeping ball forward for Van Persie which his colleague wastefully hit at the goalkeeper.
Sneijder's free-kick was on target but lacked power while Cameroon showed little conviction going forward.
Van Persie was withdrawn before the hour mark with Huntelaar coming on.
Cameroon's best chance came moments later when substitute Vincent Aboubakar's clever reverse pass found Makoun - who looked offside - but the midfielder was denied by Stekelenburg with Chedjou then blasting over from the loose ball.
Cameroon were then handed a 64th-minute penalty by referee Pablo Pozo when Van der Vaart raised his arm to block Geremi's free-kick, receiving a booking for his trouble.
Captain Eto'o kept his nerve to convert a perfect spot-kick.
Van Marwijk sent on Eljero Elia for Kuyt with Robben still waiting in the wings while De Jong could not properly connect with Van der Vaart's teasing free-kick.
Van Bronckhorst was then harshly booked for pulling down Aboubakar.
Stephane Mbia headed over from a set-piece before Cameroon boss Paul Le Guen made substitutions of his own, with veteran Rigobert Song getting a brief taste of his fourth World Cup tournament.
Meanwhile, Robben's strip-tease down to his playing kit excited the crowd before he came on for Van der Vaart.
He made an impact quickly, too, cutting inside and firing a trademark left-footed shot which hit the post and fell to Huntelaar to restore his side's lead.
CAMEROON:Hamidou, Njitap, M'bia Etoundi, N'Koulou (Rigobert Song 73), Assou-Ekotto, Makoun, Chedjou, N'Guemo, Bong (Aboubakar 56), Eto'o, Choupo-Moting (Idrissou 72).
