Skrtel: We'll keep fighting

Martin Skrtel insists Slovakia will fight until the end to keep their World Cup hopes alive following a crucial 1-0 win over Bosnia on Friday night.
The Liverpool defender captained his country to a famous victory over the previously-unbeaten Group G leaders in Zenica to breathe new life into their hopes of reaching Brazil 2014.
Slovakia now occupy third place in the standings, just two points behind second-place Greece and four off Bosnia.
Skrtel told his official website: "We played really well against a strong opponent. We wanted to stay calm as long as possible and try to score. We kept a clean sheet which was absolutely pivotal for us.
"Everyone played well on Friday and we did what the coach wanted us to do.
"It is a great result which means that nothing is lost yet and even though we face a difficult task in our group we are ready to fight until the last game."
