You think about past World Cups - in 2006, it was a fantastic Brazil team, but we did not do so well that year. In 2010, the same: it did not go far, either - only the quarter-finals. But in '94 and 2002, Brazil did not play the best football but won the World Cup; they found a way to win.
Football in Europe is No. 1 - that is what everyone watches because the best players in the world compete in this area.
I've been promoted, relegated, won big trophies, gone months without scoring, played for my country at World Cups, been bought, sold, loaned, and called 'a freak.'
I made my England debut against Japan in 2013. Hope Powell, our manager at the time, always demanded the best. She had quite a stern approach... She'd look at you over her glasses sometimes.
The level of football in England is the top. English football is the leader in the world.
Winning the Champions League is completely different to winning the Premier League.
A World Cup without Zlatan is not worth watching.
It was my proudest moment as a manager when England drew 0-0 with Italy in Rome to qualify for the World Cup finals. Fifteen years later, the stakes are equally high for both countries as they go head-to-head for a semi-final place at the European Championship.
I saw U.A.E. play at the London Olympics for the first time and I was really impressed with how they played against the likes of Great Britain and Uruguay.
There's never a lot of Brazillian football played in these games.
Generally speaking, I think that Frank Lampard is one of the best players in international football.
I enjoyed six marvellous years at Bayern winning many titles, but the fact is I don't plan on playing in Germany ever again.
There have been times when I've reflected on my international career and just thought: 'Well that was a massive waste of time.' Sorry for sounding sour, but my best mate, David Beckham, got butchered after the World Cup in 1998, then my brother, Phil, after Euro 2000.
At the end of the day, I'm a footballer who has played at some of the biggest football clubs in the world and played with some of the best players in the world.
When you give up something as big as playing for England there are going to be moments when you miss it.
I had won 64 caps by the age of 25.
I don't miss playing for the national side, I am glad to be out of it.
Kids are learning to play. That's why we're seeing an emergence. That's why we're seeing the Under-17s and Under-20s doing better in international football.
Football is not just in Europe, there is football all over the world so I am always open to the idea of managing anywhere in the world.
I believe an African team will one day win the World Cup, and it could even be in Brazil.
It's a dream to play for England, so if I'm selected, I'd look forward to playing. But it's down to the powers above me.
Any moment that you have the opportunity to wear the armband for your country is amazing.
Not playing for Liverpool would hurt me more than not playing for England.
The first time I played England was at Wembley in 1991.
I will never close the door to the national team on anyone, but you also have to remember that in modern football, only players who are in peak physical condition can make the most of their technical abilities.
