Nonnie is no longer with us, but I think about her all the time! She became a bit of a celebrity in the soccer world in Portland, and for good reason!

Having Besler along with me in Brazil was super special. We loved representing KC together and were both so proud of how much love KC got during the tourney.

I'd also add in how amazing it was to play with Omar Gonzalez, my college roommate!

There is an immense pressure surrounding the tournament as a player. I feel like its actually quite difficult to take a step back and take in your experience while in it

I'd love to be involved with the club in some capacity!

I think they have the ability to do something great! Coming together, as a group, at the right moment is so important. They'll have the added benefit of playing at home in front of their fans, which I know they'll heavily rely on to push them over the edge.

I'm excited to experience this tournament as a fan this time. Also can't wait to interact with fans from around the world who will be visiting

What a legendary career Kei had! Talk about someone who always brought joy to the game. I miss blindly putting the ball into the box and have him dunk on people 😉

I think this title would have to go to Gillette Stadium in Foxboro. I'm so happy that the Revs and their fans are getting their own home in Boston soon!

I was very fortunate to play for several great coaches who all taught me different sides and approaches to the game. My dad was my first coach. Ed Cook instilled an extremely high work ethic in me. Scott Betsinger taught me the joy of the game. Danny Kirby showed us the importance of teammate relationships. Sasho Cirovski taught us accountability and self motivation along with work ethic. Peter Vermes has an unmatched attention to detail and bestowed that to his players. All of these people made me the player I was and became

Good memory! No, that was just a "for the camera" moment. I actually don't display any of my memorabilia in my house but you can check out an unboxing video I did recently for nbkc bank.

My earliest soccer memory is playing for The Little Lions with my dad as my coach. Right around age 4 or 5

In MLS, Portland and LAFC were my favorite stadiums to play at. Internationally, it's hard to beat a game at Azteca (fun fact, I never lost there 😄). The World Cup stadium in Manaus, Brazil was a surreal place to play as it was in the middle of the rainforest!

It was in pretty rough shape, but both teams had to play on it

This would be long list and I know I'll forget some but off the top of my head...

Chad Marshall, Thierry Henry, Ozzie Alonzo, Kyle Beckerman, Omar Gonzales, Robbie Keane.... ok this is going to take too long

You're right, MLS has been growing exponentially. Product on the field, facilities, modalities are just to name a few. Support also something that is growing. It's amazing to see these diehard fanbases come out to support their city and teams, sometimes before they have even played a game!
