The player picked as No 23 in the squad will not win the World Cup for you.

Sven-Goran Eriksson

I joined a big club like Monaco and it was extraordinary for my growth as a player. That gave me the chance to break into the national squad, win the 1998 World Cup, the EURO in 2000, and make the leap to Italian football.

David Trezeguet

Every player wants to win the World Cup - every country wants to win the World Cup - so anything less than that is not really a bonus. Of course you can take positives out of everything, but you won't be entirely happy if you don't win it.

Raheem Sterling

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.

Phil Neville

For me, the 1982 Brazil squad was the best, although we could not win the World Cup.

Zico

We have big goals at Bayern and always want to go as far as possible in each competition and win silverware. But it is great to have won the World Cup. You are a world champion for your entire life. A lof of people talk about it and it remains very special. But it's not like I think about the World Cup each morning I wake up.

Philipp Lahm

I was 22, and getting into a World Cup squad is what you dream about as a kid, so finishing third was fantastic.

Henrik Larsson

The shot of Kapil Dev kissing the World Cup and hordes of Indian fans all over at Lord's is etched in my memory. Every Indian is proud of that victory, and every Indian player who has played the World Cup after that '83 win wants to bring the Cup home.

Suresh Raina

Messi is an extraordinary player, but your squad is pivotal: at a World Cup, the 11 players on the pitch and everyone else in the group can all play an important role.

Javier Zanetti

I want to be the world's number one one-day player; I want to win a World Cup, win the championship with Lancashire - those are my motivations.

Andrew Flintoff

I personally think that we can win the World Cup. We are improving with every game. With such a young average age in the squad we can only carry on improving.

Ruud van Nistelrooy

I want to play right-back. I have worked my whole life to get to where I am now in a World Cup squad and to showcase my talent in the World Cup stage, playing in my position.

Kyle Walker

I don't think one player can ever win a World Cup.

Jack Wilshere

Like many of us in the England squad, I wasn't even born when the men's team played Cameroon in the quarter-finals of the 1990 World Cup, so I couldn't tell you much about that game.
