You've let down the fans. Football is the easiest job in the world.
England have no chance. The World Cup is boring.
Not if you're winning. Sorry...
The draw for the FA Cup is...
Do you think you used to be a footballer?
Yes, a long, long time ago. I don't remember, to be honest.
It happens to me, often.
People do come up to me and go, "I know you, don't I?"
I know you from somewhere.
I had a few caps for Argentina, won a few trophies.
Someone sees someone else get your picture or an autograph,
then they come over and try and pretend, like,
they knew you as well.
I will be with my wife and someone will go, "All right, Merse,"
And my wife will go, "Do you know them?"
I haven't got a clue.
Maybe a long time ago...
It's difficult, because you feel a bit flash saying...
You won the World Cup?
I did, yeah. A long time ago.
A bit out of my league here.
Couldn't I have done this with Ray or someone?
The World Cup is boring.
No, not one bit.
This is the ultimate, ultimate competition.
All the colours, the whole razzmatazz of it all,
all the underdogs if they can do well.
To be in one country,
all the very best players in the world is absolutely amazing.
It brings people together, do you know what I mean?
It takes over the nation.
If you are there, you are in this elite.
If you're at work, I know a lot of people jump on the bandwagon
of going to watch England games,
they're not that interested but they're able to leave work early.
I have never been so nervous before the first game.
It was kind of...
It was in your country, wasn't it? That's right, yes.
That's Mario Kempes, isn't it?
Yes, Mario and...
Some other players like Ossie Ardiles played as well.
We've heard this one a lot.
Footballers are stupid.
Yeah, I am.
I am.
No, you're not.
I am. Well, I've been called stupid quite a few times.
There are some intelligent footballers, don't get me wrong.
I played with Graeme Le Saux, Gareth Southgate, England manager,
I played with - they're intelligent people.
The problem is when you are in the public eye
and say some comments, you might have got it wrong, the first
thing they say, "Typical footballer. All your brains are in their feet."
Weird, really, because that was my game, being intelligent
on the pitch but I didn't have that intelligence off the pitch.
Footballers are all cheaters.
I don't like the sound of that.
That's not a nice word.
Did you dive?
Like you see them now?
Not as much but sometimes you have to.
Yes, why not?
Do you class diving as cheating?
Yeah, I do. I think if you go down and you can stay on your feet
and you know you can stay on your feet but you think,
"Well, I can maybe get him sent off here."
If someone goes like that and you fall over, roll on your face...
..and your kids have to go to school on Monday, how embarrassing.
Touch me again.
What if there is slight contact but you didn't have to go down,
and you go down?
It's winning an advantage for your club.
So that means he is going to be booked, for example,
so he will stop kicking, he will stop doing all the bad things.
In the unbeaten season when I played,
Pires early in the season against Portsmouth, blatant dive,
but we ended up getting a draw out of the game and going unbeaten.
We could have lost that game.
Headline: Ossie is a cheat.
Not cheating, just diving.
What does that mean?
Making...
What was your favourite bench?
Is that a question? Yes, you know the bench.
But you're going to tell me you were never a sub.
No.
On the bench, you are just anxious, you can come on at any minute.
Basel.
Unbelievable bench. Up there with the best, proper leather seats,
literally you don't even want to get up and warm up.
As a player you don't want to be on the bench,
it's the worst feeling ever.
You like sitting there, it's nice,
and then the manager goes, "Warm up." And you think, "Really?"
You can't cope with the pressure.
I saw a lot of players before the game...
Shit themselves...
They go to the toilet all the time.
..be sick.
Get to a tournament and mentality changes sometimes,
a bit more pressure, more spotlight on you.
Coming into the big game, I was all the time joking and so on.
I was never kind of...
Like my mind was in another state.
I think the media always ramps it up and there's always a little
friction between media and players, waiting for them to fail.
When I play in a big crowd like Highbury on White Hart Lane,
you couldn't hear anybody. It was weird.
You never want to let your country down.
When I became manager at Walsall, 5,000 people there,
you could hear everything.
England have no chance. I hear that many, many, many times.
Have they got a chance?
Of course. Have they got a chance?
You can't think like that, you have to believe, you can
go back to Greece winning the Euros.
Them sort of sides, they didn't have no chance.
It will all come down to, if we go that way
and play Brazil or that way and play Germany. Of course.
I think if we go and play Brazil, that's the end.
If we play Germany, I think we will beat Germany.
As a player you can't be thinking we have no chance today.
If you go into the wrong frame of mind into games,
you have no chance of winning.
I always say as well England have a kind of inferiority
complex with Brazil.
I wouldn't disagree with that.
I think we sometimes play against the shirt.
England can shock a lot of people and for me that would be
better than people expect you to win and you don't win.
So now we're saying we've no chance, OK, let's prove them wrong.
That's what I would be saying if I was Gareth Southgate.
The big advantage with Gareth? He's been there, he's played in it.
Even at half-time, even if you were 3-0 down,
you'd still believe you could do it.
There was one occasion we were 5-1 down at half-time
and we didn't believe we could come back from that.
