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 don't know if my hairstyles reflect that, but I am someone who enjoys change.

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've been through the process qualifying for the World Cup, which is an amazing, two-year process. It was an honor to represent the U.S. and to represent the city of Los Angeles and California.

You are going to have hostile crowds and the fans are going to find out where you are staying and keep you awake at night. They are going to use everything possible.

Overall, I think I'm in pretty good shape, but I'm not really someone that is gung-ho or a fitness fanatic.

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.
