I think I've always loved playing in North America.
Playing away is just as exciting as playing at home.
When you're on the road, you don't have any fan support, so you and your teammates always have to stick together.
International football's not always about playing the top three in the world - it's about going to some of the tougher places around Europe and playing real tough games.
We are Bayern Munich and English teams always have trouble as soon as they leave the island.
I've played at five World Cups, including one in the U.S. where the distances between the stadiums were also big.
Spanish League is very tough, especially away matches.
In the Negro Leagues, we'd play three games a day on the weekends. Then we'd ride the bus and travel to play the next day someplace else. You'd hang your shirt out the bus window to dry.
My family vacations were softball tournaments.
