Bilic confident of progress

Croatia coach Slaven Bilic is confident that his side can maintain their 100 per cent record at Euro 2008 and see off Turkey to reach the semi-finals.
Bilic's side finished top of Group B with three wins out of three, while Turkey had to mount an amazing comeback against the Czech Republic to finish as runners-up in Group A.
"We had three games, three victories and a great atmosphere within the squad," Bilic stated. "Everything is ideal so far.
"The way Turkey managed the comebacks in their games was impressive, but the way they trailed in those games also tells us something.
"Their strength is obviously somewhere in between."
Meanwhile, Bilic has confirmed that back-up striker Igor Budan will miss the rest of the tournament due to a knee injury.
He commented: "He will undergo arthroscopic surgery in Italy and unfortunately he will not be able to help us for the remainder of the European Championships.
"We will consider calling up a replacement, but only after our quarter-final match with Turkey, should we progress to the semi-finals."
