The Confederations Cup is interesting. It served Spain very well to take part and then go on to win the 2010 World Cup. We knew the stadiums, the atmosphere, the conditions and also the difficulties of a tournament which simulated the World Cup format.

Vicente del Bosque

It's a World Cup, there's no easy games in this tournament.

Jofra Archer

The World Cup is a really long tournament, so you have to prepare for whatever.

Crystal Dunn

My best years were 2010 and 2011, and the 2010 World Cup was the most incredible experience. Our tiny nation reached the semi-finals, I finished joint-top scorer in South Africa, and my goal against Germany was voted the best of the tournament. I was also named the best player of that World Cup.

Diego Forlan

The World Cup is a tournament that practically does not allow errors, especially in the final.

Willian

To be the best in a tournament like the World Cup is a success for me personally.

Iker Casillas

The World Cup is the ultimate moment for any player. It is the opportunity to defend your country in the biggest tournament in the world and the moment the whole world will watch you play.

Willian

Every player would love to play a tournament like the World Cup at home.

Kaka

This is my first FIFA Women's World Cup . For me, to see how I have reacted to this tournament...I'm totally in.

Alexi Lalas

Before a marquee tournament like World Cup, a good IPL acts as a confidence booster.

Yuzvendra Chahal

One of the things I enjoy most during the World Cup is watching a team improve, mature, and gel during the course of the tournament.

Rabih Alameddine

The first important thing is representing the country. That feeling will always be there, be it World Cup or any other tournament.

Vijay Shankar

At this level, if you are aiming for the World Cup, because the tournament is so long there will be points where the team may lose a couple of games.

Mithali Raj

The 2017 European Championship was my first major tournament for England, but everyone tells me the World Cup is a different level.

Millie Bright

When I was a player, and since then, we have never been so snobbish as to go into a tournament saying, 'We will win this World Cup.' We aren't like that.
