I played in Europe and it was a great experience, not just because of my team-mates and the coaches we had, but from the fans and the city itself - I played in Gothenburg and I played in Lyon and soccer was everywhere.

I've been through a lot of things in my personal and family life. That turned me into a fighter. I always strive to be the best I possibly can.

I don't need a captain's band to lead a team to victory.

True heros are made of hard work and integrity.

Female athletes are supposed to be toned down. You're always supposed to talk about the team and never stand out.

In truth, 2007 was the hardest year of my life. I lost my best friend. I lost my father.

I couldn't have been a great goalkeeper without power, agility and quickness.
