Listen - Euro 2008 Qualifier: England vs Croatia - Gerrard: "We're ready!"

Following the lifeline handed to them by Israel and Macedonia's wins, Gerrard says the side are ready to face Slaven Bilic's team at Wembley in the final qualifier, needing just a point to secure their progression to next year's competition. With their destiny back in their own hands, the stand-in skipper believes they'll be able to secure the point they need at the very least.
