I have a love of baseball and a love of music.

My dream is to play football as long as I can and that's what I want to do.

In international football, chances don't come along very often.

We have to cut out some of our mistakes, but the main thing in English football is controlling the second ball. Without that, you cannot survive.

I always watched professional football and my father played at an amateur level, but I didn't think I wanted to become a pro.

I don't see myself as Johnny Football.

We see every game as a big game, and, as you know in tournament football, anything is possible. Each game, we want to keep raising the bar and lifting our standards and putting goals past teams.

I feel I am ready to experience football at the highest level in Europe and the opportunity to play in England is a dream.

I am aware of the risk with all the media attention, all the glitz and glamour around football. And that was the only piece of advice my father gave me about my future - to stay myself. I know where I come from.

We need everybody to contribute as one and do what we've got to do to win. Football is not an individual game. In basketball, LeBron James can take over a game by himself.

The way football has evolved in some of the bigger leagues in the world, you'd have to say there has become a bigger distance between the contact that you have, for everybody really. It's quite refreshing actually to experience something as simplistic as enjoying winning a game, and the players and the fans being together.

I'm a versatile player, can play in numerous positions, and I have a good football brain, even if it is getting older.

Asian players are very eager to work hard, but they don't have the physicality of the Europeans, so they might actually need to work twice as hard. With street football, their skills will improve a lot, and so will their tactical awareness, because by playing within a limited space, you need to be very focused on your game.

Women's football will always be different from men's football, but that doesn't mean you cannot still appreciate it. OK, so it might be a bit slower than the men's game, but then League Two football is slower than the Champions League, and it doesn't stop people turning out to see their local teams.

I like to play attacking football, but I think the big difference is that we expect a lot more from our strikers, to do more pressing and to keep compact. We like to play a high line defensively and press the ball.

I never played the game for money and attention. I love football, and I've had a blast.

I'm not a Packers fan. I just like football. I do respect those guys. You respect great football. I'm a Cowboys fan, or I was a Cowboys fan. You just respect great football.

I play for pleasure, for the passion that I have as a football player.

There is one thing that will never change in football. The centre forward is only as good as the people that are giving him the ball, and the people that are giving him the ball are only as good as the centre forward they are giving it to.

Coming from high school, when you sit that first year, if you love football, have respect for the game.
