God helped me crown my football career with a participation in the World Cup.

Klinsmann was the shining hero of the 2006 World Cup when Bayern took him on.

I wanted to score the winning goal in the 90th minute of the World Cup final.

In '82 Brazil showed that you can't win the World Cup without a solid defense.

Being part of the World Cup team is definitely very special for any cricketer.

To play in the World Cup and try to win something for England was the ultimate.

World Cup is the most important title I have won. There is no doubt about that.

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

You have to show up in the World Cup, and in the World Cup anything can happen.

My first goal is the World Cup, and then my second goal is to win the Asian Cup.

I would change all my individual trophies for that trophy of World Cup champion.

It is the dream of all the children of the world to play in the World Cup final.

Playing in a World Cup or in a European Championships is like a dream come true.

The important thing for me was that the World Cup should travel round the world.

During the 2011 World Cup, I was sitting at the Wankhede Stadium when India won.

The World Cup has special games, and losing them hurts more than the other ones.

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

It was an amazing feeling to be able to win a World Cup and at home in Australia.

I tried to do everything on the pitch to play at the World Cup. It wasn't enough.

This is something I've dreamed of for a long, long time - to play in a World Cup.

I think my form dipped after the Six Nations in 2007, from the World Cup onwards.

It has always been a dream to win either the Olympic gold medal or the World Cup.

When you are in the World Cup, you must focus on seven matches and not losing any.

Personally, everyone dreams to be part of World Cup squad. Mine was also the same.

It's probably the happiest moment for me, to play in a World Cup hosted in Africa.

For me, ever since the South Africa World Cup, the French team is part of the past.

I'm just the same as everyone - I can remember, growing up, watching the World Cup.

Scoring a goal for England is special. Scoring in a World Cup is even more special.

In order to play at the World Cup, I know I have to do well with my club, Athletic.

It's my biggest dream as a soccer player: I always wanted to play in the World Cup.

For me, the 1982 Brazil squad was the best, although we could not win the World Cup.

The World Cup is what we've done all them hours for. It's why we give up normal life.

I want to go to the World Cup. I want to go to the Masters. I want to go... anywhere.

I vaguely remember the 1998 World Cup. Michael Owen scored; I remember watching that.

If you're not going to the World Cup expecting to win, then you probably shouldn't go.

I hope that my first appearance at a World Cup will be marked with a positive outcome.

In a tournament like the World Cup, you have got to be on top of your game every game.

Once you reach the knockout stage of a World Cup, the team that holds its nerves wins.

I was on a high after the Under-17 World Cup, with the manager talking about me a bit.

Our journey has taken 21 players but our goal is still the same, to win the World Cup.

Since I was fifteen years of age, I have been wanting to go to the football World Cup.

Every league game is like the World Cup. The passion... intense, the desire for points.

If you've got an opportunity to improve your squad before a World Cup you must take it.

It's an amazing opportunity to be around at the right time and play in a home World Cup.

Becoming World Cup captain, I can't express in words the feeling and thanks to everyone.

It would be cool to win a World Cup, and I think it would be good for my career as well.

I have played the World Cup qualifiers on the left wing, and that position suits me fine.

I believe an African team will one day win the World Cup, and it could even be in Brazil.

Any game in the World Cup is a tough game. The atmosphere brings a lot out of both teams.

I am extremely elated to be in the Indian World Cup team. This is like a dream come true.
