Playing in Italy was like being in a foreign country.

You've got to have a dream... if you don't have any big dreams, nothing happens.

It's best being a striker. If you miss five then score the winner, you're a hero. The goalkeeper can play a blinder, then let one in… and he's a villain.

Even all the top players going to Europe to play helps soccer in America, as do all the MLS players like Beckham and all that, they're trying to promote it. At the end of the day it's about getting the younger generation interested at an early age so most of them will move on and play.

I've got tremendous respect for different cultures, for the food and everything.
