Script:

SOUNDBITE: (German) Bastian Schweinsteiger, Germany midfielder:
(How do you feel after the game against the Netherlands?)
"Well I will not deny that I am a bit tired but I think it was immensely important for us to make that second step, but having said that, now we also need to win against Denmark because strange as it may sound we are not through yet so we have to regenerate and focus on the game against Denmark, then hopefully secure our passage to the quarter-finals."

SOUNDBITE: (German) Bastian Schweinsteiger, Germany midfielder:
(Q: Who does Mario Gomez compare to, is he like Lionel Messi?)
"If Mario Gomez carries on like this he'll have a transfer to Brazil on the cards for him! The good thing about Mario is he almost needs zero chances to score, just like Didier Drogba. I would compare those two and put them on more or less the same level. I mean inside the box Mario Gomez is a world class player, there is no denying that."
