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.
Wayne can play any position but the way he plays for Manchester United, just off the main striker, is unstoppable. He runs at players and that is what causes teams most problems.
We can't afford to get carried away but we are in a position where we need just need to draw,
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.
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.
