When I wear the national team shirt, its sole contact with my skin makes it stand on an end.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Pulling on your country's shirt is the greatest honour a footballer can have. It's what I always dreamed of as a kid and I get a buzz every time.
If I'm going to be on national T.V. without my shirt on, I've got to look good.
Some people wear their heart up on their sleeve. I wear mine underneath my right pant leg, strapped to my boot.
I don't like the showy nationalism - a tattoo, wrapping yourself in a flag - that doesn't matter to me. The way to show your patriotism and commitment is to go and support or play for your team.
Because we always have to wear a uniform to compete, my teammates and I look the exact same. My belt is the only accessory that I get to choose. I usually wear a yellow cloth belt with cherries or a leather belt with a beautiful tree buckle that I got at a thrift store.
You have to know what club you are playing for, or you just play for yourself. Every time I put on a Liverpool shirt, I know it is more than just a football game.
All of a sudden I'm in the major leagues and we're traveling from town to town. I see the other players dressing different every day. I've got only one suit and I keep wearing it over and over. I'm really embarrassed.
For me, it's just a pleasure to be out in the community wearing my Ducks logo on shirts and hats and so forth in representing the team.
I play on a soccer team.
I wear my Peggy Fleming T-shirt when I go to sleep every night before I compete, and for the past four years, it's brought me incredible good luck.
