This match is about sport and I separate that completely from politics.

I'm interested in current affairs and social policy as a whole, but I don't watch politics for sport.

I love this sport and I don't want to get involved in politics.

I am a sportsman, and I hate politics.

I don't really like politics that much. And I like the order and simplicity of sports. They have an ending. You can argue with your friends about it, but in the end you still like sports. I almost love the fantasy world of sports more than the real world.

As an international sportsman, I am very lucky to be supported by people all over the world, many of who treat me as one of their own, no matter what their nationality, or indeed mine. This is the way sport should be.

I hate it when politics play too large part in the sport.

You cannot mix sports with politics.

We have hated the French for years. Now you have just joined the club. It makes you much more likable.

I'm not into sports, and politics is kind of my sport. I love talking about it and debating it and getting into it. I also think people on both sides of the aisle have real exaggerated, incorrect views of the other side, and that is fascinating to me.
