Playing at Wembley wasn't easy.
I know I played for England at a World Cup with millions and millions of people watching, but I still stick to my same routine - I train, then go home to see my wife and little boy.
It's just about confidence and believing in your own ability. If you hit it over the wall, you've got every chance of it going in.
I wasn't in the best shape when I came to Tottenham, and the manager let me know that. Within six months there, I was in great condition.
I thought I was in good shape. When I was at Burnley, and we got our body fat done, I had a really good percentage. Sean Dyche was happy. I went to Tottenham, and I was well high - I think they pinch you tougher at Tottenham - that's what I think. Unless it was my all-inclusive holiday in Mexico.
At Burnley, I'd enjoy myself with my missus and friends, but because at Tottenham we're playing Saturday-Tuesday, even Wednesday-Sunday, and with the intensity we play at, playing in the Champions League, we can't afford to have a night out.
The training at Tottenham is intense, but the structure is set out perfectly - in the gym, running, sometimes double sessions. Every player at Tottenham is in great shape.
All I can do is try and keep doing my best in training and games.
I was still going out when I was younger - drinking - and I wasn't looking after myself properly.
My career has totally changed. Burnley helped me get to where I am, and I'll never forget that.
I used to watch Beckham and Andrea Pirlo. Players like that, they had a fantastic right foot on them; everyone knows that.
Me and Steve Eyre, the coach at Manchester City, used to stay behind for ages after more or less every session.
There is a lot of room for improvement for everybody, no matter who you are, so that is all I did, really: practice.
I went for a tackle with Radamel Falcao against Colombia, and he just dropped to the floor. I said to him 'Just get up!'
All I can do is keep doing the best I can, and every opportunity I get, I'll try to put balls in like David Beckham.
Gary Neville played a similar position to me. Defensively and offensively, he was a quality player for Manchester United and England. His trophies speak for themselves.
I analyse my games for club and country. I look at what I could have done better and learn.
After the World Cup, I feel more mature, more confident.
Coming back to Tottenham, you feel confident with these players and the manager - the way he talks to you and wants you to play.
Obviously, you want English players playing in the Champions League against the very best players in Europe.
