We grew up together so it was nice to lead our countries against one another,
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.

On being put out of the World Cup: That was the past, this is the future.
It's not all about me. I've got to lead as a captain and I'll try my best as always -- but so will all the players.
I'm not complaining, but of course it's tough. It's tough on any family.
