There are no guarantees getting into an England squad: there's so many unbelievable players.
You only have to look at the England squad to see the amount of players who get in the squad and start the games - the majority play in the Champions League.
England's is a very solid squad, but I can't name a particular player; a team is all the players, and they're good.
When you look at the caliber of players in the England squad and their ability, why should we go into the tournament fearing anyone?
I don't know how you get in the England squad without getting in the Arsenal team.
I'm not silly enough to say I don't take note of what other strikers are doing. I was totally aware players were scoring that were in the squad - and of English players scoring who weren't in the squad.
I think playing international football burns players out, but I was in and out of the England squad so never felt that.
I've shown I am deserving to be in the England squad, but I don't just want a place in the squad; I want to be in the team.
It's never a straightforward thing to do, to be able to inherit a squad. When you're mid-season it's never easy to get a team or a squad of players to function exactly the way you want them to.
I want to widen the pool. In the past, England players have maybe had the comfort of knowing what the next squad is going to be before it's announced, but I'd like there to be more uncertainty. More competition for places means the standard goes up.
Manchester City have been the best side in England over the course of the last decade. Coming here is a dream for me. This is a top side full of world-class players. Everywhere you look in this squad there are big names with international pedigree.
There are times when new players replace injured players in the national squad. Since the new players don't have enough experience and match practice at the international level, they seldom play under a lot of pressure.
Arsenal do not have money to spend, so they are gambling on young players. Arsenal are obliged to sell their best players and bet on youth - but what counts is having a team, great players, and a solid squad to win titles.
From Under 15s to Under 19s, I was concentrating playing for England, it was close to me, I could just go to St George's Park, it was nice. Going back to school when you've just played for England, it was amazing, you're one of the best players in the country, that's why you're getting picked.
There are too many British players who just aren't good enough. And that's not through lack of effort. But in terms of getting to the top 100, and getting into Wimbledon on their ranking, I feel as though there are too many players who just aren't good enough.
Shinji is a quality player but he is not the only one who is finding it hard to get regular football. There are many top players in the squad and there is plenty of competition.
There are too many coming from different countries. When we started, foreign players were in the minority. All the best players from Spain, France, Brazil, Argentina are going to England. And Ireland is bound to suffer.
