Iran are very strong because we have many good players playing top-class football in Spain, Germany and England.

Ali Daei

With my quality, I feel I can bring a lot to a team that I will join. I want to show it in the big leagues: England, Italy, Spain, Germany, and France.

Georginio Wijnaldum

We have the talent, just not the money and not the audience. People in France don't really like fantasy. You need to go to Spain, England and Germany for that. Many of the people from my crew come either from Spain or England. But I hope to be able to work with them again and I wish to create European cinema on that scale. It could happen and attitudes may be changing. Animated fantasy movie Despicable Me was made entirely in France, so there is the talent here and now maybe the desire too.

Spain and England have great leagues, and it would be nice to play there when the time comes.

Lukas Podolski

Every league has its own culture, its own identity, and its own type of football. It's very physical in England, but technical skill comes to the fore in Spain, where everybody wants to play beautiful football. The standards are very high in Germany, too; the teams are physically strong, very disciplined, and very well organised.

Arjen Robben

For me, it is all about the bigger picture and what is right for England. I haven't enjoyed watching us play in all our games, but away in Germany, against Spain and Germany at home, I've enjoyed the performance.

Gareth Southgate

I think with England, I look at myself and accept that I didn't do well enough; then, other times, I was playing my best football for United and England didn't happen.

Michael Carrick

There are teams in England who play the football I like, keeping the ball on the ground, playing a quick game with one-twos, pressing their opponents high up the pitch. If one of these clubs were interested in me, I'd adapt to them well, and they could adapt to my way of playing, which isn't so common.

Jorginho

I worked at the number one team in the Netherlands, Germany, Spain, and now also in England.

Louis van Gaal

I think that France, Germany, Spain, Holland and England will join Brazil in the semi-finals.

Pele

In Barcelona, Bayern Munich, in Spain and Germany we were able to do it. But people say, 'You only did it because you were in Barcelona and Bayern Munich. You will not be able to do it in England.' So, let's do it. We are going to try.

Pep Guardiola

I've lived in England, France, Spain, Portugal and Germany in the '80s. I don't like being settled. It's not really healthy.

Denny Laine

Robben is truly world class, proving himself at the highest level in England, Spain, Germany and on the international stage.

Jamie Carragher

I think England is one of the biggest soccer leagues in the world - fantastic! Just like Spain's LaLiga also, with big players, big teams.

Douglas Costa

In England, there is a tradition of playing on Saturday. But in Spain, I won the UEFA Cup with Valencia playing on Thursday and Sunday, which was just the same.
