Every day growing up, I had this dream about the World Cup: I score the winning goal. In the final minute. With my butt!

Roberto Baggio

'Strictly' is a bit like scoring the winning goal in the FA Cup Final or sinking the final putt in the Ryder Cup - only a few people get the opportunity to do it, and they have got to be famous.

Anton du Beke

To score in the World Cup final is not a small story, of course. Every footballer dreams of it: first to become a world champion and then, even better, to score in the final. This happened to me, and I'm glad.

Mario Gotze

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.

Ashley Cole

As a kid, I was always pretending to score the goal in the FA Cup final, and I managed to live my dream.

Aaron Ramsey

I think every professional player wants to play every game and every minute because you never know when you're going to get a chance to score, in the first minute or the 90th.

Gylfi Sigurdsson

The last player to score a hatrick in a cup final was Stan Mortenson. He even had a final named after him, the Matthews final

Lawrie McMenemy

This is something I've wanted to do my whole life, to play in a World Cup, to play in a World Cup final and win the World Cup.

Lindsey Horan

Back in 2005, we lost in the semi-final of the World Cup and that was a great learning curve for the team. It gave us a goal and even more of a hunger to win the World Cup, so we went away and set ourselves a long-term plan to do it.

Isa Guha

Winning the Absa Cape Epic already was a wonderful surprise. The World Cup was, for sure, my main goal, but winning all of them was nothing I had planned on.

Nino Schurter

The best goal I have scored for the national team would be during the 2002 World Cup against Portugal. It was my first World Cup and my first goal in the World Cup. It was like a dream, and that's why it was so memorable.

Park Ji-sung

Some people may say wrong decisions belong in football, but if a final is decided in the 90th minute by a wrong decision, for me that is not a fair result.

Mats Hummels

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.

Becky Sauerbrunn

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.
