We had a meeting with the manager but that happens all the time - if the manager decides he wants a meeting with players to discuss formations or ways of playing then we'll have a meeting,
There are issues to consider but my personal life is fine, the team is doing well and I'm happy with the coach. Everything is coming together.
The players and a lot of people in England knew it before this tournament but now Europe is finding out about Wayne Rooney. And we're very lucky to have such a good player in our team.
Without doubt, I always said that I would not go into management,
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,
Everyone's been so quick to say that I'm really thick or I haven't got a brain. People will think whatever they want to think.
I just want people to see me as a hard-working footballer and someone who is passionate about the game.
You can be the one - in - a - million. Don’t be discouraged by the odds to Succeed.
The secret to my success is practice!
Every situation has changed me as a person.
You will go through tough times, it's about getting through them.
I have always believed that if you want to achieve anything special in life you have to work, work, and then work some more.
I love scoring goals for England and playing for England. That's one of the reasons I didn't retire - I love playing for my country.
