George Best was one of the most talented players of all time and probably the best footballer who never made it to a major world final.

It is a game before a product, a sport before a market, a show before a business.

The street is the best way to become a good footballer.

A football team represents a way of being, a culture.

For me, football is more about making the right pass at the right time.

For example, Michael Jordan earns $100million a year but continues to play basketball and remains a modest human being.

You know the Dutch, they're always a bit funny... some of them.

Sometimes, in the dressing room, I think I am in Hollywood.

It's quite possible that Beckham suffers from a mental block at big tournaments

The most important thing however is the money. What use would it be to us, to have a a mighty stadium but a useless team, because we couldn't afford anything better?

What FC Bayern has become is thanks to Gerd Mueller.

Messi is a genius. He has everything. When I watch him, I see a player who is very, very skilful, very clever and his left foot is like Diego Maradona's.

Real Madrid is a legendary team that stands above all others and is the target of all players.

No one wanted to fall back behind so both teams waited for a mistake from the other.

As someone who played a team sport, I feel a bit uncomfortable being ranked as an individual so high.

Penalty shooting is always an uncertain affair because there is a lot of luck involved.

Since Sven Goran Eriksson took over, England has been fantastic.

We should not compare humans to God, but Messi is a godly player.

There's only one possibility: win, draw or loose.
