Coming to Houston was an opportunity that I couldn't pass up.

I think one thing as far as my learning curve and what I'm learning - there is a time to take a sack, and then there is also a time to try to find a way to maybe throw the ball at a receiver's feet.

There's nothing that can replace learning on the field.

Through the learning experiences, I've been trying to eliminate mistakes. I don't want the same mistake to happen twice.

The fiesta of soccer, a feast for the legs that play and the eyes that watch, is much more than a big business run by overlords from Switzerland. The most popular sport in the world wants to serve the people who embrace it.

I'm a big sports guy - golf, tennis, baseball, basketball, snowboarding - and I love games.

We have to harness the Olympic experience and this inspiration young people have to get into sport.

What made it so special was the city of Houston had never won a sports championship. I think the championship changed people's thinking about their own city. It made them feel like their city had some significance that it hadn't had before.
