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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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