I'm Argentine, and that's why I admire Messi most.
I love soccer. That's all I ever watch. I'll watch it all day if I can. But I'm too bloody old to play now.
Chinese fans are just passionate about the game. The love they have is just insane.
When I was younger, soccer was my life. I always wanted to play.
In Europe, it's different - you eat soccer, you breathe soccer, you drink soccer. Everything is about soccer.
I love playing for Ireland, and I love soccer, but when it comes down to it, I would choose boxing as my number one sport, as I'd miss it too much if I wasn't involved.
The ball is like a woman, she loves to be caressed.
I never felt the same passion for the game in the States and there were a lot of headaches, a lot of obstacles to overcome - it didn't just run itself for the love of the game because soccer is not the No. 1 sport as it is in Europe.
Everyone is different but I love to watch that type of football: the clever players, the technical players. The beautiful game.
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'm lucky to be doing what I love, and I appreciate that I can make a good living doing it. I love to play soccer-whether it's in a game, practice or playing with friends-so it isn't like I'm under pressure at all.
I have always wanted to play for Nigeria and I enjoy each minute we gather and when we play.
I'm a total soccer freak. I total soccer freak. Absolute total.
