I've never met anybody who says they don't like the World Cup. If you're a soccer fan or not, everybody loves watching it, and I think it could be the same for other sports.

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

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.

Skin cancer became personal to my family when my father was diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma.

Most of us are in this more than just for playing soccer. We're in it for the bigger goal - to move it along for the next generation.

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.

Some things you can shake off, some things dig deeper than soccer.
