I am only reading the interview but I can almost hear his whispey voice when he said "I know for a fact that every one of the players in our team would play for our country for nothing. I would love to play in the World Cup for nothing and so would the other players. We don't go into a game thinking we can make money for winning. There is too much pride and passion in our team to even suggest that."

His statement raises the question then why even pay them a bonus if there is all this pride and passion.

Why don't all of the England players put this to bed and say if they win they'll donate all their winnings to charity?
