Yossi hopes for upset

Last updated : 06 September 2007 By Al Campbell
The Liverpool midfielder says he doesn't care if Saturday's game is a dull one as long as Israel can cause an upset against England.

"We believe in ourselves. We know England are favourites, they are better than us - so any result less than a win for England will be a surprise to everyone, especially me," said Benayoun.

"So I don't care whether people say we are negative or not negative - we drew with England in Israel 0-0.

"That was a great result for us, and I will be happy to defend again and finish with the same result. You don't expect us to come to England and Wembley to play an open game and end up being 3-0 down after 20 minutes.

"We need to work hard in defence and work on quick attacks, hopefully steal a goal and draw or win the game. But the pressure on England can be a factor which will help us.

"If we stay in the game in the first 20-25 minutes by defending solidly and keeping the score at 0-0 the England supporters will lose their patience."
