Qualification for the 2010 World Cup begins today and Robbie Keane is desperate to play in the finals in South Africa.

"No-one wants to fail. We want to be the best we can. Every player wants to play in big competitions, and there is no bigger than the World Cup," said the Liverpool striker.

"I am very lucky, I have played in one before and there are a few players who have played there.

"But there are a lot of players who haven't played there and I am sure they will be as desperate as the players who have played there before.

"If that doesn't give you enough incentive, when you are growing up as a kid, your dream is to play in a World Cup, and every player in that dressing room tomorrow will want to achieve that.

"That starts tomorrow by playing well against Georgia and getting the three points."
