What They're Saying
Israel captain Tal Ben Haim (via UEFA): "We can be very happy. We picked up the first six points, which is a very good start. It was a very difficult game against [Andorra], a team that always defends. It was not easy, but we played some good football and we had a lot big chances to score."
Bosnia-Herzegovina head coach Safet Susic (via UEFA): "It was an extremely tough match [against Belgium] and it's a pity we couldn't keep the lead. I'm satisfied with my players' performance. Belgium are a superb team, the best we've played against. We had a tough match on Friday and I am happy with what my players have shown tonight. There is a big fight ahead of us as we want to make it to EURO 2016. I am convinced we can come in the top two in the group."
