At some stage, playing in America is possible. For me, America is so passionate and I would like to be a part of that. I have one year left at Real, and maybe two more after that, but things can change in football and the American league does interest me.
Maybe United think that's the best way, out before you know it. I'm not sure I agree,
I went through a tough time for maybe three years after that,
I don't think I could have struck it any better but I think the goalkeeper has read where I was going to put it and that's unfortunate for me. If I had put it away, maybe it would have been all over but we're not going to know that now.
It doesn't mean just because Michael is coming back, and I'm maybe in a different position, that things are going to change in the next game.
Whoever comes in as England manager it is up to him to pick the new captain, but at the end of the day I'm not going to give it up easily. There are the European championships to come and then maybe another World Cup.
I like playing in Madrid and Spain. I live in this city and although we haven't yet talked about renewing my contract, after the Champions League matches against Arsenal we will talk.
Every one of our players respects every one of their players and their team as a whole. But once we cross that white line most of the respect will be out the window and we will be fighting to win the game.
Everybody is proud of what the cricketers have done in the last month. It's been incredible. We send our best wishes to the cricketers.
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.
I'm pleased with my personal performance but particularly with the way the team played overall.
I'm personally not prepared to put my children in that situation,
