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.

You want to teach the next generation so they can learn a little bit faster and a little bit more so everything becomes that much better.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
