When you look at the caliber of players in the England squad and their ability, why should we go into the tournament fearing anyone?

Obviously, it has taken time to work with the players around me and with so many new faces coming in the summer, in a way it's been more difficult.

I think about all my successes and failures and sometimes the failures stick in your head as much as the wins. But you do move on.

When you take a lot of stick you want to ram it down people's throats.

Training's completely different now. It used to be a lot of running and work without the ball. Now it's all with the ball, which any player loves.

I think every player enjoys praise and I have to work extremely hard on the training ground to bring my game together.

I had a chance to go to Italy when I was younger and that would have been tough because of the language. America is easier but I really loved it.
