Liverpool winger Raheem Sterling says going to the World Cup with England caps off a dream season.
Sterling was only 15 during the 2010 edition but has seen his fine season with Liverpool rewarded with a place in the 23-man World Cup squad.
"I think I was at home eating some pizza with friends when he scored the opening goal," the winger said of Steven Gerrard's opening goal. "It was a good feeling.
"I have to pinch myself every day at Liverpool, playing with the like of Steven, Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge.
"Sometimes I go home now playing FIFA with them but at the same time it is a dream come true, really, and I am just looking forward to playing with the likes of Steven in this World Cup."
