Winning the World Cup was the worst thing that ever happened to the England team.
The 2006 World Cup was the summer I came to United so the England thing was kind of ongoing. Getting to the World Cup was massive but it wasn't until I got to United that I had that feeling that winning was a possibility.
I couldn't have asked for anything more than this. Winning the World Cup is the proudest moment of my life. Thanks to my team-mates. Without them, nothing would have happened. I couldn't control my tears of joy.
Winning the World Cup is definitely the highlight of my career. I thought the gold medal at the Olympics would peak it, but winning the World Cup, the reception... it's what we all dreamed of when we were little.
The common vision is winning - and winning a World Cup. We have a three-year plan - win the World Cup, win the Olympics, win the Euros - and the common agreement is you want to create a legacy and win the World Cup; then, everything else falls into place.
England is a team that is used to playing in World Cup finals.
You take a chance to do something and you realize in your heart it's either going to be the greatest thing that ever happened or the worst thing that ever happened. It won't be an in between, I almost made a hit. It will be an instant flop or an instant success.
What was the worst thing you've ever done? I won't tell you that, but I'll tell you the worst thing that ever happened to me...the most dreadful thing.
The World Cup was the biggest thing ever for the national team, but the Champions League is the biggest thing for clubs.
I got to be around an England team at a World Cup in Brazil, and that was an amazing experience.
Becoming captain of the World Cup team and winning it is something I can't express in words.
The worst thing that's ever happened to you is not the worst thing that's ever happened to anybody.
That's the dream. Being on the U.S. National team and winning the World Cup. I'll take the win anyway I can get it.
There's no better way for me to end my time with the German team than by winning the World Cup.
Winning an official World Cup with the South African team had become my burning ambition.
It's what every kid dreams of: winning a World Cup for your country. There's nothing that will ever, ever beat that or even compare to it.
I want to continue to win things, hopefully something with England, and if I can score the winning goal at the World Cup, then maybe they will like me again.
