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.
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.
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.
I haven't retired from international football - I still believe I have a part to play in the future of England.
