I am excited to bring my deep knowledge, passion and expertise of soccer in this country to The New York Cosmos. They truly represent where this sport is headed on a national and international level, and I want to make history with them.
I definitely do like change. I don't know if my hairstyles reflect that, but I don't like the same old thing all the time.
I am a kid from the '70s, when video games first started coming out, so I definitely have to say I am a video game junkie to this day.
I am both honored and blessed to have had such a wonderful career with the L.A. Galaxy and I am thankful for everything the club, the fans and the community has done for me and my family.
The referee will now keep track of the time on the field and the shootouts have finally been banned.
We are still confident as a team that we will make it through to the final Cup qualifying round.
I turned 24 in the middle of my first World Cup and it was quite an unbelievable experience. It's really hard for words to do it justice.
As a player, I was fortunate to work with coaching and medical staffs that underscored the importance of utilizing injury prevention exercises, which contributed to my healthy and long playing career.
It just proves that I've been here for a long time and, I guess, have done the right things over the years.
I've been working on my finishing for quite some time. It's just a question of paying attention to the minor details.
Looking back now at my first World Cup experience, I didn't know what was going on. I was a newbie and I had no idea what to expect.
It's difficult to compare coaches. You really can't compare them.
The World Cup experience is more than just the game of soccer. It's an event. And it will fly by faster than you think. It will end and you'll be saying, 'Wow, it's over already?' You have to remember to take it all in and enjoy it.
Being out in that heat for two weeks definitely drains your energy.
Traveling is not a hindrance for me; it's something I actually enjoy.
I've seen a lot of highs and a lot of lows with this team, and one thing I've learned is that even though you have lows, you're not going to have them forever, so you've got to keep fighting.
I never thought I'd play soccer past high school, so to go from that team to actually being most-capped and three World Cups is pretty special.
There's no need to overwhelm yourself with thoughts, because you know that you're just as good or better than some of the players you're going up against.
I think the Commissioner is taking the steps necessary to give the game back to the players and the fans and hopefully take the league to the next level.
The people I still talk to are some of the old Galaxy players all over the place. That's a bond that's pretty special.
