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.

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.

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.

It's difficult to compare coaches.

After I suffered a labral tear in my hip while playing soccer, I realized that many sports-related injuries can be prevented and I dedicated myself to helping young athletes learn more about injury prevention.

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

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.
