Raheem Sterling in England action
Wembley's grand arch has always felt a measuring stick for Raheem Sterling, who would cycle as a kid past the construction site and promise himself, "One day, when this stadium is built, I'd like to play in there". I wasn't scoring a lot of goals there as well, but the turnaround happened and I started scoring. He famously has an image of the Wembley arch inked on his forearm, a reminder of his childhood dreams.
Ahead of winning his 37th cap against Italy tonight, Sterling told BBC Radio 5 live: "I feel sometimes there is too much negativity".
Sterling added: "When I feel under threat or under pressure, that brings the best out of me".
"Growing from a young mentality where I wasn't as professional in terms of off the field, in terms of treatment, massage, ice baths and stuff like that and just being more ruthless as well".
"I've done that at my club, I wasn't scoring a lot of goals there, but turned it around and started scoring".
"It hasn't benefited England at all yet because I haven't really got to the level I want to get to", he said.
"To have fun, to enjoy the football and enjoy the moment", was his response when asked about his aims for the World Cup.
Turns out the only minor detail we got wrong was that Salvatore Sirigu was actually in goal for the Azzurri (Buffon twisted an ankle just a few days prior), but the rest still held water.
"I'd love to hear some positive notes coming in, just to let the boys know everyone is behind them".

No official price was available at the time of writing but we will update accordingly. "We are using AI to bridge the skill gap". Finally, the company has designed the backs with some nifty finishings that give them a mirror-like reflective surface.
"I had a rough year; I think it was the first year at City".
"I think if we get behind those players, give them love, you wouldn't know how much that will help them, how much that would boost their confidence".
It was a matter of sitting down and working out how to deal with the noise; that he has done so in the form of a 20-goal season and nailed-on Premier League winner's medal bodes well for the chances of discovering similar consistency with England and Southgate spoke approvingly of the way he has refined his thought processes about the game under Pep Guardiola.
Sterling said "grownig up" has improved him as a player. "With the biggest teams [Guardiola] has managed to play in a different way and give the players that belief and detail in how they play, which is so important". "It's down to the players to take that on board [what their manager says]". He already has 20 goals this term - nine more than he has ever scored in an entire campaign.
"That's not necessarily because he's technically better".
"He lets you know when he's not happy with you", Sterling told a news conference. "He's thinking about the type of shot more, not snatching at things". That's me, I take it, try to assess and go from there again. "If you want your country to do as well as everyone says, bring a positive light into it", he said.
"We're getting closer and closer to the World Cup and everybody is getting very excited saying this England team can go very far, and I hope they do, but from what I've seen so far, I'm not excited and I've got no love".
"With the manager I've got at City, he's been a massive help for me, and it's the same when I come away with England as well - Gareth's always trying to help the strikers, doing finishing drills to get us better every time we come here".
