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.
Playing for the national team is not the same as playing for your club.
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.
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.
My roles for Arsenal and Sweden are very different.
I actually feel more comfortable when I play for England than United.
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.
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.
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.
