Robbie Keane Quotations

We have a great sense of togetherness. It is our team spirit that has taken us to this World Cup.

I am happy at Leeds and I want to stay. There has been talk that Leeds might sell some players, but all the players believe we can win some silverware next season and it is important that we are all kept together.

Sometimes, you need different things in life, you need different challenges that will give you that little boost.

As a kid growing up in the back streets of Dublin I used to pretend I was playing in the World Cup with my mates out on the streets, and now I will be doing it for real.

Some have said it is the easiest group at the World Cup, but we realize it won't be like that. Germany are a tremendous side, but to be honest I don't know much about Cameroon and Saudi Arabia.

Qualifying for the second stage would be a successful World Cup for us. I think we can do it.

At Leeds I've tried to concentrate on my club form, but you get caught up in all the World Cup fever once you come back to Ireland and see all the Irish boys again.

I can't even remember when the Seventies was.

It's always nice to start off with a good result.

There was a tremendous amount of disappointment in missing the World Cup finals in 1998, so they're getting excited about this one and I really think we could do well in the Far East.

I know it will take a little time to adapt to a different team and a different league.

A lot of players might be tired, but I feel nice and sharp.

We were given no chance against them, but we held our own and we will be trying to do the same this summer.

I used to love watching him as a player, so it is a joy to play alongside him. I might take the mickey out of him, but deep down I have so much admiration for him.

We get on well and it won't be too much trouble spending so much time with him. He has a strange way of sleeping as he likes to kick off all the blankets and just have them up by his chest.

It certainly was a strong performance and we have to take a little bit of heart from it to take into Saturday's game. Sometimes you need a bit of luck.

That was a great result for England, but it has gone and I don't think the Germans will be welling on it when we play them this summer.

We made hard work of it. They were a much better side in the second half. Full credit to them.

You know with Chelsea and the players they have that it will be tough, but everyone is looking forward to it. They are the team to beat and people want to play against them.

We don't want to get too carried away. We'll take each game as it comes and hopefully in May we'll be there.

There are a few people saying we can't (play together), but we know we can.

The team spirit has always been here, it was here under Brian as well. You can't say it wasn't here under Brian because it was. But to have Mick Byrne come back has been nice. You've seen how much all the lads like Mick and that was just my way of saying 'welcome back'.

It wasn't deliberate handball, but you need a bit of luck.

You've got me for another four years. I had the feeling it was a club going in the right direction and I still believe this, especially with how the team are doing and the quality of players that have been bought in.

I'm not saying it wouldn't have happened if I'd come to Anfield then (1997), but I always held out hope that I'd come back and this is a real dream come true for me.

I am absolutely delighted at the prospect of joining a world famous club like Inter.

I had expected to be playing in the reserves and, all going well, that I might get a chance in the first team towards the end of the season. But it has all happened much faster than I could ever have thought.

A Rod: An attractively painted length of fiberglass that keeps an angler from ever getting too close to a fish.

I have always wanted to come and play in MLS so it’s the perfect combination for me and a dream come true.

Top players don't come much topper than Gerrard and Carragher

With all due respect, I have nothing to prove about my worth to anyone.
