My goals are for the U.S. team to get to the second round of the World Cup and to win a championship here in the U.S. with my club team the Columbus Crew.
When I first signed schoolboy forms for United, as a midfield player, I felt for a while that I was just treading water.
Mantle had more ability than any player I ever had on that club.
If I do well at Chelsea, then the national team will take care of itself.
Playing for the national team is not the same as playing for your club.
My roles for Arsenal and Sweden are very different.
With a club team you do get to work with them day in, day out, for weeks.
Playing for England is a bonus, but playing for Liverpool is what I want to do.
I actually feel more comfortable when I play for England than United.
When you're with your club team, every week you have a performance to judge. But when you're with the national team, it's a little different because you might not play for three or four months at a time. Things change constantly.
My first aim is to play well for my club, Manchester City. If I do, I am sure that will come to the attention of the national manager.
I can only have international success if I am a big player for my club.
It would be fantastic to have the two top-ranked players in the world playing out of the same club.
Hearts was the pinnacle of my career. After I left, it really was downhill. Hearts is the club I always associate myself with, and I'm proud to have played for them.
I actually got my start playing indoor soccer with the boys, a bunch of boys I played with. We eventually became a club team and then essentially got to the point where I couldn't be a girl on the boys' team, so I switched over to JB Marine.
