I can see that the UAE is growing a lot as a football country, and there is plenty of opportunity to keep going and improve.

I am preparing myself to leave football. I have always thought that once you get past 30, it is time to reflect on when you should go, and that is what I have done.

I will end my career with Roma.

I'm content with what I have done in my career.

The crowd are more understanding at Anfield than at any other football ground.

Soccer is a great game, and the rich variety of styles and passions that come with being truly global makes the World Cup a nonpareil event in the universe of competitive sport.

In one respect, it's easier to open a restaurant in New York because you get more media attention than anywhere else. Almost everyone will try a new place once, irrespective of the reviews, because it's a spectator sport.

I try to never lose sight of what a special time it is to be a women's basketball player.
