00:00France are the favourites
00:01You know, when you look at France, you look at how strong they are
00:03They've got pace, they've got strength, they've got ability
00:05Yeah, but as I said, the World Cup is about one-offs
00:08And no matter how good you are, you can lose
00:10You play against a team, you can hit the post 20 times
00:12And outplay a team and lose
00:13It's not like in the league, whereby the best team will win the league
00:16The best team does not always have to win the World Cup
00:18One of the best four will
00:19But you can be lucky
00:20Or you can be unlucky
00:21I mean, in 1990, the best game we played was against Germany when we lost
00:25We were lucky against Belgium, we beat them
00:26Lucky against Cameroon, we were 2-0 down
00:28So, you need a bit of luck, no matter who you are
00:31So, I have no worries about England maximising the potential of going
00:35You know, to the latter stages
