It's been a big flaw of ours in the soccer department that a lot of our best athletes go and play other sports. But I think young players have seen me, and others, go over to Europe and play in some of the best leagues - and MLS is improving so much, too.
Any time you're in the coaching business or managing in the minor leagues, when you see a player who has made it to the major leagues, you get a thrill out of that.
Hockey is no longer a big four. It's football, basketball, baseball and soccer. Now, I'm not talking MLS. I'm talking COPA, World Cup, men's, women's, MLS, youth... and there's a lot of reasons for it.
I always think the same: English players don't generally leave England, which is strange. But of course, the Premier League's got the reputation as one of best leagues going, and one of the most competitive leagues.
Well, I think any national championship is an extremely important championship to play in.
If you don't win the MLS Cup it doesn't matter, so we know that the big one is the MLS Cup and we'll give our all to win it.
I think I can play in the big leagues 10 or 15 years. But more important to me is winning-win, make the playoffs.
It's up to the national associations and their leagues to limit the entry of foreign players.
I am available to play in foreign leagues only when not required on national duty.
I don't expect any red carpet to the big leagues. If the opportunity comes, then it comes. But I don't think I'm owed anything.
The high demands on teams in national leagues and of course the Champions League - it's too much.
Well, it looks like the all-star balloting is about over, especially in the National and American Leagues.
I never had any doubts. I wanted MLS. I'd followed it on TV, and I liked it. And being able to play in New York did the rest. I don't know if I would have accepted an offer from any other city.
The national team can do so much for Italian football, as can even lads who no-one knows or who play in the lower Leagues.
In a year without the World Cup, the national leagues and the Champions League have much more weight.
I think that's important to have in something like a national television show. It's important to portray a woman realistically, and not just as a bridezilla.
