Joe said "I want to go out there and give everything. Like I've shown when I've played for England before, if I get the opportunity then I've shown that I won't let them down.
"It's a great way to make your name. Players like Michael Owen and Paul Gascoigne have made their names and become legends at major tournaments. It's the place to do it and I really want to go out and make my name by helping the team win the tournament.
"I think we can win it. There's probably about three or four teams with the capability to win it and we will need some luck, our fighting spirit and a bit of flair as well, but then we stand a really good chance.
"I was confident of making the squad, because I bring something different to the party and thought I could play a part. I'm fresh and the good thing about it is that I've been in the Chelsea team for the past six weeks and been playing regularly so I'm in perfect shape.
"You constantly improve all of the time as a player. I've enjoyed my time at Chelsea, I've broken into the team now and I want to stay and establish myself both for Chelsea and England.
"Maybe playing in the Champions League has helped, as playing against Monaco was great for me. I'm confident there will be more of that in my Chelsea career as well.
"You've got to be mentally tough as a player because there's so many people out there trying to knock you or hold you back. The one thing I've really learned is the one person that really matters is yourself and how you do.
"That's put me in good stead and I think I've grown in stature as a person and as a player because of my experience this season."
He talks a good game, but it's what happens on the pitch that counts. and a certain Frank Lampard will also be hoping to make a name for himself at the tournament...
