England and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 striker Andy Carroll was upbeat about his country’s chances of making it into the quarterfinals with a win against Ukraine in their final Group D fixture on Tuesday, and lauded the effort of the Three Lions in their gripping
3-2 win against Sweden.
As things stand currently, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 and England have four points out of their first two games, with the former being on the top of the table on the virtue of a better goal difference. Ukraine have three points from their 2 matches, and will need to secure
a win against England in order to book their place in the last eight of the competition.
Sweden have already crashed out of the tournament after suffering successive defeats against Ukraine and England.
With the Three Lions in need of just a single point out of their last group game, the 23-year old was optimistic about his team’s chances of sealing a place in the next round, but insisted that they should do it in style by beating Ukraine.
He told the reporters in an interview, “We think we can finish the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ukraine-c3032. We are confident. We will just need a point to go through but we will go there and try and get the win.”
Carroll started for England against the Swedes on Friday, and vindicated his manager’s decision by netting a superb header in the 23rd minute to put his side ahead. It was only the striker’s second goal for his country in 5 appearances.
Even though the Blue-Yellow managed to wipe out http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sweden-c3015 in 43
years.
Carroll waxed lyrical about the fighting spirit shown by his team despite conceding the lead in the second half, and was over the moon to get on the score sheet.
“It was a great performance by everyone and we stuck with it when we went 2-1 down and fought back. We've got a great team spirit going on. We just had to stick together. No-one's head dropped.” He added.
