I do miss competing, being out there - the atmosphere, I do miss it.

I miss my kids, and they miss me. It's very difficult, but I have to do it for my country and fulfill my dreams coming to the 2012 London Olympics.

I wish I could play the World Cup; that's one of my dreams.

I feel like winning a world championship was a hurdle I had to get over.

I haven't won a World Cup. There's things that haven't been finished, and I'm not afraid to fall flat on my face trying.

I feel as if we have the best team in the country. You've got to have that feeling.

Leading my country out at the World Cup was something I'll never forget.

I've won a world championship, I know how that feels. I don't know how it feels to win a gold medal. I want to feel that; I want to know that.

My sole focus is to help bring a World Cup back to the U.S.

To say I have played through four World Cups, two Lions tours, 91 international games and a ridiculous number of injuries and other setbacks gives me an incredibly special feeling of fulfilment. I know myself well enough to know that I will never truly be satisfied.
