It was not our day, not our match and somehow we were due for a loss. Now the weight of the winning streak is off our shoulders.

When you look at our programme for the next few weeks, you do not fancy a trip to the Oktoberfest.

I know I am playing tomorrow. After that we'll see. The coach will decide something, I am sure.

Many Australians play in the (English) Premier League and we'll know they will be aggressive from the start. We'll have to ride out the first wave and then it'll be easier.

We were not 100 percent against Hamburg but our (unbeaten domestic) run is over and maybe that will ease the pressure a bit.

I have exactly the same feeling (as before the 2002 finals).

I have a feeling we are going to be world champions, I can't really explain why. Brazil are probably the best team in the world in terms of individual players. But the team with the most gifted players do not always win.

I am relaxed about the situation now. If I play, I try to concentrate on producing my best.

We are aiming high in the Champions League and you will see a different team on Tuesday.
