On a global stage, I have respect in the goalkeeping world.

Athletes are extremists. When they're training, it's laser focus.

I carry my iPod everywhere. My favorite group is the John Butler Trio, an Australian jam band. The lead singer and guitarist writes amazing lyrics.

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

My life goes in four-year cycles. The World Cup is every four years and the Olympics are every four years.

I've had marriage proposals, invitations to military balls and even a few prom offers from 18-year-old boys.

You know journalists. You know the media. They are going to hang on to anything negative they possibly can.
