The World Cup experience is more than just the game of soccer. It's an event. And it will fly by faster than you think. It will end and you'll be saying, 'Wow, it's over already?' You have to remember to take it all in and enjoy it.

Looking back now at my first World Cup experience, I didn't know what was going on. I was a newbie and I had no idea what to expect.

I like the guys on the team and the coaching here. I especially like the management. The Galaxy have been really good to me.

I think the Commissioner is taking the steps necessary to give the game back to the players and the fans and hopefully take the league to the next level.

The league, is doing well. It is just a matter of trying to sort some things out with my contract.

Overall, I think I'm in pretty good shape, but I'm not really someone that is gung-ho or a fitness fanatic.

I am both honored and blessed to have had such a wonderful career with the L.A. Galaxy and I am thankful for everything the club, the fans and the community has done for me and my family.

I don't know if my hairstyles reflect that, but I am someone who enjoys change.

I've been working on my finishing for quite some time. It's just a question of paying attention to the minor details.

I don't like the same old thing all the time.

It just proves that I've been here for a long time and, I guess, have done the right things over the years.

The referee will now keep track of the time on the field and the shootouts have finally been banned.
