We’re all worldwide footballers, we can all play football, so I don’t think it matters too much who you are playing with.

Former Liverpool player Mark Lawrenson has sensationally claimed that Roy Hodgson should not still be the England manager.
“When you go into a tournament like this, of course I want to play”, he said.
Meanwhile, Hodgson’s plan for his players to pay tribute to those who died in the Battle of the Somme during World War I has been scrapped by the FA.
Even though he knows that agents can contact his players, he will not allow them to leave to sort transfer deals and instead will tell clubs they had “better bring [their] people [to France]” showing exactly where the focus is.
He added: ‘I don’t care what you say.
“I’m relishing getting started now”, he said.
Wales made it to France by claiming second place in Group B of qualifying, finishing two points behind Belgium and ahead of Bosnia-Herzegovina, Israel, Cyprus and Andorra.
“It was nice, we had the trumpets going yesterday and to come here today and see all the locals was great”.
We’ve got full-backs who like to get forward, a midfield with plenty of running in it and a group of strikers who know how to find the back of the net.
“I think that whoever plays, out of me or Nathaniel Clyne, is going to be fine”, Kyle Walker said.
Smiles aside, it was actually a canny move by Coleman not to be caught out despite the association’s lack of tournament experience and underlined they are considering every minor detail in their bid to make the most of their time in France. I would play; Joe Hart (GK) Walker (RB) Cahill (CB) Smalling (CB) Rose (LB) Dier (CDM) Ali (CM) Wilshire (CM) Lallana (CAM) Vardy (ST) Kane (ST) The wing backs provide our width and we play to our strengths and we will do well in this tournament. That’s hopefully a good sign: “I’m here now and there’s a big light”.

“For myself I am focusing on my abilities on the training field and we are all doing the same thing which is training hard and giving the manager the decision to pick his team”. It’s not a burden but there is a lot expected of you so we go out with the mentality to give them [the fans] something to celebrate.
