I haven't got enough time. I prefer to listen to music, although I do love fashion magazines,
Can we trust Sven? We can definitely trust him,
But I haven't got any advice for him because I'm sure his parents can do that for him,
Beckham is the player who works more than anyone here and he plays in a position that is not his. He makes sacrifices for the team. He does not play just to sell shirts.
In 2012, I can take my children to an Olympics which we might never had had the chance to do. ... This is such a huge lift for our country.
I'm confident enough to overcome anything and carry on. There's always pressure taking penalties, whether it's on the Hackney Marshes (in London) or in the World Cup final, ... I'll put myself up again and take another one.
I'm captain but so many other players are captain of their club sides and we need that. We are lucky to have that.
I didn't feel as fit in the second half of the season as I did in the first half,
He's the man who brought me to the club and that's why people have turned around this morning and said 'will I be leaving?'. I've got a great relationship with him but I've also got a great relationship with the other board members and directors and players and fans.
We said a few things in Spanish and swapped shirts ... He had a smile to say 'that's the way it goes'.
Why don't the Argentinean players like me? I don't know,
We can take a lot from that game, to play against one of the best teams in the world and we've outplayed them for 90 minutes, ... They've scored two goals in the last two minutes of extra time. We had a lot of young lads out there who played as if they had been around for a long time.
We have been in this position before at the last championships when we beat Germany and ended up losing. It is unthinkable that we should go out at this stage, with the team and the players we've got. We can't even think about going into this game wanting a draw, we must go into it wanting to win.
We have got great individuals but this team is not about individuals,
