I Think Soccer Is More Respected Now

I Was The Kid Who Always Liked To Take The Ball Down To The School Even In My Free Time, Kick It Against The Wall, Juggle It In The Front Yard And So It Was Kind Of A Perpetual State Of Playing Soccer For Me.

To Be Honest With You, I Never Looked At Soccer As A Sacrifice.

When I Was Younger It Was Twice A Day With A Game On The Weekend. Then When I Got Older, Three Times A Day Everyday In College And On The National Team.

I Think There Are A Lot Of Things That Soccer Does In The Communities That Transcend The Soccer Field.

I Think Soccer Is More Respected Now Than It Ever Has Been. You Can See That In The Numbers Of Young Kids Who Are Playing And The Numbers Of People Who Are Coming To Watch.
