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.

I don't like the same old thing all the time.

Traveling is not a hindrance for me; it's something I actually enjoy.

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.

We didn't think we were a fourth-place team. For us to beat the first-place team in the West and the first-place team in the East shows the dedication and determination that we had.

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.

This is something that's very special; people saying they watch me play who are now turning professional.
