I wanted to be a soccer player. I knew that couldn't happen.

I wanted to be a soccer player; I wanted to do it at the highest level.

I played a lot of football, and I was a goalkeeper, but I didn't really like playing in goal.

I was hell-bent on being a soccer player all through junior high and high school.

I was a part of Backyard Soccer, and I hear that I score a lot of goals in it.

I've played soccer since I was five.

I was the kid who always liked to take the ball down to the school even in my free time, kick it against the wall, juggle it in the front yard and so it was kind of a perpetual state of playing soccer for me.

I was the very first athlete in East Germany allowed to go professional.

I went to my first college to play soccer.
