I think England needs the boy, the World Cup needs the boy.

Everyone has a right to an opinion. I can arrive in England and express my opinion. If criticism were ferocious and without intellectual objectivity they should show me the way to their airport. It is important to have an opinion and not be afraid to express it, knowing there will be criticism.

The world is so competitive, aggressive, consumive, selfish and during the time we spend here we must be all but that.

Boy George is all England needs - another queen who can't dress.

It's important that if you have a problem, [it] is solved and is over. I don't hold a grudge.

I don't say we are a defensive team. I say we are a strong team in defensive terms, but at the same time lacking sufficient fluidity in attack because that will take time to come.
