I was asked if the next World Cup was going to be my last and I said possibly it could be, but I hope it isn't,
We have spoken about a meeting in the next couple of months, but we'll just have to wait because we've got so many matches and I need to concentrate on the football for 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.
If we win the next two games, we go top of the group, that's all we have to do.
If we win the next two games then, even if we finished in second place in the group, we've got very high points. We need to win, simple as that. That's what's we're here for. We said that before the Wales game we want to get six points out of the two games and that's what we look for.
We may be tired in the next few games, but I think we will benefit. This is the sort of work I want to do, I enjoy it and I like working hard.
Tonight it has been a bit of an embarrassment for the lads. Tonight hurts more than any night probably, but we stick together, that's all we can do. If we win the next two games, we go top of the group, that's all we have to do.
I think the next England manager should be someone who's going to be right for the job whether he is English or foreign. I think the players would be happy to play under anyone if they are good for the team. But all the talk needs to stop about who's coming in because we need to concentrate on a huge competition.
I thought the first yellow was harsh and the second even harsher,
We do need to share that out because Frank's showed this season that he gets forward, he scores goals, gets in some great positions,
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,
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.
I think it is better for the team to have a regular penalty-taker rather than me who hardly ever takes them for Real,
I would like to think that we can peak in the same way as the rugby team did,
