The World Cup must remain the number one competition, because it is our only source of money and, with that money, we can develop football in the whole world.

When you go into extra time, we're talking about drama. But when we reach the penalty shootout, it's a tragedy.

They (the FAI) have asked, very humbly, can't we be team No 33 at the World Cup? They have asked for that... really!

Liverpool have won everything but never a World Championship. I am sure in the future they will once again make the effort to win the tournament. They have had good rhythm in the Premier League this season.

I am a mountain goat that keeps going and going and going, I cannot be stopped, I just keep going.

There is a movement in club football, which I don't necessarily consider a prime example of solidarity, because it leads us to conclude the rich are getting richer and they are using everything in the market to create an exodus from Africa.

Perhaps we could revisit the issue of World Cup Host selection for 2018/2022 as some countries feel, and we did say, they are more suitable. Russia was the only high risk location for 2018 and racial chanting is rife there but a Mr. R. Abramovich paid a significant fee to fund the voting proceedings and, not to be discriminatory, we would have to see the same thing from any England/Spain representatives wishing to have another vote.
