To play in the World Cup and try to win something for England was the ultimate.

For every guy, there is an opportunity to be a lot better than he thought he could be. We can't all be the star of the team, but we can be a star in our life. That's where you set your goal.

FIFA's goal of making the world a better place through football cannot be achieved through our efforts alone - equally important is the power which every fan of the beautiful game has at their disposal.

The key thing with any football player is, what can he do when he gets on the field.

I want to be more than just some guy who played in a World Cup final.

It is an honor to be on the cover of this game because the World Cup is such a big thing around the world. My kids are really quite impressed so that's fun.

The boy who is going to make a great man must not make up his mind merely to overcome a thousand obstacles, but to win in spite of a thousand repulses and defeats.

I personally think that we can win the World Cup. We are improving with every game. With such a young average age in the squad we can only carry on improving.

The World Cup must remain the number one competition, because it is our only source of money and, with that money, we can develop football in the whole world.
