We didn't think he would play on Sunday because he was suspended - that makes me think he has all the qualities to join Arsenal!

I felt really sorry for Oliver Kahn. Up to that point he had made lots of saves for the German team. Of course he could have caught the ball but it just happened. It was bad luck. In that situation, you need to be very strong psychologically to carry on.

I think the most important goal I scored in Spain was the first one because people were wary about me coming over to Spain as a player - they thought I was just there to sell shirts.

I'm only 35, and I felt that the time was right to try to come back and have a chance for him to see me play.

I'm the leading scorer in the cup, and that's lovely, but don't forget this is also a great moment for the whole squad, when the two things coincide you can't ask for more.

I was hoping he would get up so I could hit him again and keep him down.

If you catch him, just give me four seconds with Saddam Hussein.

I couldn't be playing him for this long if I didn't like him.

Bjorn was a different breed, I threw my best material at him, but he would never smile, but that added to the charm when he played me and Mac. We were going nuts and losing our mind and he was sitting back like he was on a Sunday stroll.

We used to look at Felipe as our guiding man that we listened to.
