The first goal is always important.

There is something to be said for waking up every morning and seeing the sun.

I miss driving to Goodison Park. I miss just the positive energy of the fans walking into the stadium and how much they care about that club and the team. And I miss the players a lot.

My decision to return to the MLS is one that I have made with thoughtful consideration.

Fortunately for me, its my most favorite drill, and that is finishing. However, from a young age, soccer players in this country are not taught how to properly finish, and I think you see that through the professional ranks, that we dont have that killer instinct of the forwards from other countries.

As a spectator, you get to watch everything, but I'd much rather be playing than watching. I'll have time to watch later in my career.

Relaxing, going on vacation, sleeping, having fun when I want, golfing when I want, do whatever I want - I am going to enjoy it.
