Mark Hughes quotes May 10, 2004

“It’s a squad I’m looking to build on the last two performances, I’ve been pleased with the way players have come in and acquitted themselves. We are building, at this moment in time, for the World Cup. I’ve based the squad on the situation we find ourselves at the moment which is a national side that isn’t involved in the European Championship in the summer.” - Wales manager Mark Hughes.
