Neville wants World Cup victory

Manchester United defender Gary Neville admits this could well be his last chance at grasping the World Cup.

Neville will be 35 when the World Cup comes around again, which realistically, is to old.

But Neville is not looking beyond this World Cup and feels now is the time and there cannot be an excuses from anyone.

With Lampard, Ferdinand, Terry and Owen all at a good age with a great amount of experience, now is simply the time in Neville's eyes.

"This is probably my best chance to win the World Cup and the last chance," said Neville.

"I've got to be realistic and I'll be 35 at the time of the next World Cup.

"There can be no excuses from anybody. If it's injuries, or whatever happens to us, there can no excuses. We've talked about this being a tournament that England are going to do well in for six years now.

"Certainly since 2002, it's been said this group of players would be at their peak in 2006.

"Don't get me wrong, we can go on to win in 2008 and 2010, but it would be a different set of players, a different backbone to the side. This for me is the peak for this team.

"The ones below the really experienced guys are at a good age as well - the Lampards, the Ferdinands, the Terrys, the Owens - so there can be no excuses this tournament for us.

"There can be no bemoaning bad decisions, no missed penalty, no poor performance. They're things you have to cope with. You have to take the opportunities when they come.

"The make or break moments in this tournament we have to make our own and if we don't, we'll come home and we'll be a nearly team. It's as simple as that."
