It's a privilege and an honor to play for the national team, but I think that the training that I was in at Frankfurt was the highest level right underneath.
When I got to the senior national team, there was another Ronaldo, so they started calling me Ronaldinho because I was younger.
I had role models in my community, guys that were older than me and played at university or on the national team. Eli Pasquale was always around UVic when I was a young player, and the national team was around Victoria a little bit, so I got to watch those guys and learn from them.
I saw Claude Makelele play in the French national team but before when he played at a club I didn't watch him a lot.
When I talk to my colleagues from the national team, they always talk to me about Real Madrid.
My feelings in regards to the national team are simple: If the manager thinks I can be of use, I will be ready for the call.
I've been playing for England at every single youth team level, so it's like a natural progression into the seniors, and I'm obviously delighted with my progress.
I always thought, it would be neat to make the Olympic team.
It's pretty neat to be able to help the team in different ways.
You don't want to turn up like a Nepal or an Ireland where the entire world thinks that you're not going to win. You rather turn up like an India or an Australia or an England where everybody says this team is going to win the World Cup.
St James' Park was always, in the course of my career, a great place to play football, for the wildness of the crowd and the no-holds-barred football that both my team, Manchester United, and Newcastle would play.
I just hope I get picked by the right team and the team that really wants me and a team where I can help and take it to the next level.
The nice thing about BYU is that it takes in a wide area. There would be times where we'd travel and be on the road, and we'd have more fans than the home team that we're playing, a lot of really loyal fans.
There are no words to describe what it would mean making the Olympic team.
I missed the Olympic team in 1996 - missed making the team. I tried to make a comeback in my sport, and soon after the Olympic trials, Johann Olav Koss, who is a Norwegian speed-skater, called me up and asked me to be a part of Olympic Aid. Now Olympic Aid is Right to Play. It's a wonderful, narrow focus.
We are not giving up on the Coyotes in the Greater Phoenix Area... The team has got a number of options and is going to pursue them, so nobody should think that team is moving other than out of Glendale.
In truth, we are all part of the team of humanity. And as such, we are all obligated to share ourselves, and our talents, for the sake of the team.
The American professional schedule gives players a six-month off-season, so many of us have become pickup regulars while training without an organized team.
I could play for the worst team if they paid the most... If the last-place team offers $200 million and the first-place team offers $10, I'm going to go for the $200-million no matter what team it was.
Ohio State is an up and down team.
