We grew up together so it was nice to lead our countries against one another,
We're in form. When we make the most of our potential, we can destroy any team we come up against.
Me? I would love to be famous in America. I like the American people and I like the way they look up to Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods . I'm sure they criticize their stars occasionally but it doesn't reach the point where they ever put down their own people and their own stars. That's what's nice for me.
It was alright -- we won the game,
So it is going to put a lot of strain on my back.
The intrusion and the invasion into my life is tough because I've got children,
I would like to think that we can peak in the same way as the rugby team did,
As soon as I hit the ball, I know if it's in.
Wayne can be whoever he wants to be. He's a great young lad and he's at the right club to be looked after and to be brought through. If he carries on doing what he's doing, creating chances for players and for himself, he's going to deserve those comparisons.
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.
