The match against Brazil was football at its best. Both sides had opportunities to win the game.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I played against the Brazilians in '82, who were definitely the best team never to have won the World Cup.
Brazil was a very good experience. I learned a lot about how to play football, both technical and physical. There would be a hundred kids of all ages, training and doing classes together.
People say, 'Pep won in Barca, but it was boring,' or, 'Pep won in Bayern, but it was boring.' I understand that. But games won, goals scored, goals conceded, titles... sorry, guys, it was good!
To play in the World Cup and try to win something for England was the ultimate.
That makes me think of the 2002 World Cup Final above all else. Nobody thought at the time that our team would get through to the Final against Brazil. We should remember that this summer.
The China game was the best because it took the effort of everyone on the team to survive 120 minutes.
Four years ago maybe we thought we were inferior to Brazil, subconsciously we didn't see ourselves beating them. Now we believe in ourselves, we can be on the pitch with any team in the world and think we can win.
The fact that the games were so close was a tribute to the level of skill in the World Cup.
The Everton goal was very important. It was the one that got us through, and it was great to go into the crowd and celebrate with the fans.
German football is like English football. The Germans and the English do not play like a Brazilian side. They have to improve, bring up their young players, who have character.
