''If you can beat the world champions, it is not tough (against England),'' Switzerland coach Ottmar Hitzfeld said, referring to last year's World Cup win over Spain.

You have to remember, the poor darlings who earn more in a week than we do in a year were tired after a long season of playing one or two games a week.

At a Sunday rally that drew a few thousand supporters in the central Trinidadian town of Felicity, Warner said he decided not to disclose the contents of the email because "the best legal advice received at home and abroad has suggested that I do not do so at this time."

He has previously said "the contents of the email are crystal clear as to what transpired."

Referring to Bin Hammam, he said: "My friend came here to talk to some people, he spoke to them and then he left. The rest is now history and let the facts come out."

"I won't comment on the politics but the document he received is detailed," Blazer said.
