Phenomenal game, says Alfonso

BRUGES, Belgium, June 21 (Reuters) - Alfonso, scorer of the goal which gave Spain an incredible 4-3 win over Yugoslavia at Euro 2000 on Wednesday, described the game as 'phenomenal'.

The Spanish hero said: 'We worked hard, there were many goals, many emotions, but it's been worth it. We had many problems but from now on, I hope that everything will go much better.

'Spain is a team with a lot of prestige... and anyone we face from now on will be very difficult. But all the struggle, all the effort, was worth it. I hope everyone in Spain is satisfied. In the next match we have to have our feet on the ground, although at the moment everyone is euphoric.'

Coach Jose Antonio Camacho said: 'With two minutes left, the players on bench said that we still had time - and in the end they were right. We had many chances to score and we played fluid football but sometimes football is unfair and if we had not won I think it would have been unfair.'

He added: The important thing (about this side) is their dedication and involvement -- even those who did not play. It's been spectacular.'

Asked who he would rather face in Sunday's Quarter-final, he said: 'I'd prefer France even though they are the world champions because playing Holland would mean facing the hosts.'
