In North America, many fans know Cristiano Ronaldo's smirk and can recognize Didier Drogba in a commercial. Maybe they know too much for the good of M.L.S.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm very lucky with the people that recognise me - it's at a very tolerable level. I don't think I could handle the level of recognition which David Beckham has.
This stupid celebrity thing is just a consequence of being good at what you do. I mean, no one would photograph David Beckham if he wasn't the best attacking midfielder in the country - much as I hate Man. U!
I've always had people come up to me to say that they admire the way I play, and then they tell me they're not United fans. That's always been nice.
My guess is that if David Beckham wants Ronaldo's jersey, he's going to get it.
I love Costas. He's knows too much, but he's a good guy.
I appreciate my international fans all over the world.
I look at Messi, and he makes me laugh. A beautiful footballer who is still like a kid. A world superstar, but still a kid. Innocent, you know. He just plays.
Jose Mourinho is a big star... he's cool.
In Spain and Italy I would not have a life among the fans. Everyone wants to touch you, own you and approach you. I try to be as kind as possible to all my fans, but in those countries I could not do it. There they ask too much from you.
Nobody in England knows the real Luis Suarez.
