I thought the first yellow was harsh and the second even harsher,
We didn't play to our potential. In the second half we lost our shape and didn't do what the manager asked us 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.
I didn't feel as fit in the second half of the season as I did in the first half,
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 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 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.
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,
Winning the Spanish league is a key objective, as well as the Champions League,
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.
That's the level we have to perform to, especially against the team we are playing. We need a standard that's very, very high.
