SOUNDBITE: (French) Yohan Cabaye, French midfielder:

"We are all expecting a big match, a big fight against England, we know how they play, especially against France. We are ready. Even those of us who play in England do not need to warn other players in the French team, and tell them that it will be a big fight and an important match. Even though some of their players are injured and that their team is a bit weakened, it is still a big team with very good players. We are bracing for a big fight and France will need to be at its best to beat the English."

SOUNDBITE: (French) Yohan Cabaye, French midfielder:

"It is true that we are kept inside the training complex, so it is good to get out. For our morale, it is good to see other people, even though the training centre is beautiful, but it was important not to think about football for a little while, in order to focus on today's training and Monday's match."
