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.

That's one of my jobs, just trying to do what I can to help this team out as much as possible.

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 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.

Being out in the heat for two weeks can definitely drain your energy.

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.
