\u200b\u0093England has one of the best teams in Europe,\u0094 said Pellerud. \u0093I would rank them among top 12 in the world. They play with typical British organization and enthusiasm, and the team will be a strong and a relevant opponent for our team in the ongoing effort to prepare for 2003 World Cup.\u0094
