First of all, I think it is not easy to win a title in the Premier League, as you have really good teams here.
Liverpool are a very hard team to beat in front of their own crowd.
When I was a freshman at Oklahoma in 1946, the game was sold out - and it's been sold out ever since.
When a team like Manchester United comes to Molineux it is always big.
We're FC Bayern, and we'll always send out a competitive team.
One thing is certain: wherever the enemy lands, if once we can get to grips with him on the Continent, where we are not dependent on supplies from overseas, that ought to be, and will be, all right with us.
Honestly, the Carolina games I played in every year were more intense than the national championship games I played in - they had a better environment.
Allowing guys to celebrate and get the fans involved and excited - it makes the game better.
Just the energy when I was sitting and watching the game, like the seats were shaking, fans were screaming. Just, I feel like I'll be ready to play in something like that when it's my time.
The roar of the crowd when you come out for a final is like nothing else: when 15,000 people are cheering you, a lot of adrenaline goes right through you.
Kansas City might be the loudest stadium that I've played in.
It's discouraging for me to come out there and watch the lack of fan support for a good team.
What everyone wants to see are exciting football matches where fans get behind the team that they support.
The key to winning in major programs is how you play on the road.
Beating Chris Eubank in 1997 was a great win and the toughest fight of my life, and beating Jeff Lacy was great, too. But Mikkel Kessler topped it, winning all the belts and fighting in front of all those fans in my home town.
I go to as many football games as I can.
When I think back to the 2006 World Cup on home soil, we came close but nobody really expected us to get very far. We simply lost to a better team and Italy went on to win it.
Playing at home is always better. You get to sleep in your own bed, drive your own car, and see your own fans.
Brazil goes into every World Cup expecting to win - so when it is in Brazil it is expected even more. You can't understand what the World Cup means to our country.
The support of our fans is vital to everything that we do - we always play for our country and our fans.
To play a match between Boca and River in Madrid, it's weird. But as a player, it is important to stay focused on the match.
Sports passion is deeply, infamously territorial: our city-state is better than your city-state because our city-state's team beat your city-state's team. My attachment to the Sonics is approximately the reverse of this.
It's definitely important to have your mom and family there to back you up and cheering from the stands. You'd love them to come to every big dance and every big game, but sometimes that's not possible.
Opening Day was a big thing. I came to a lot of Orioles games. I grew up a couple blocks from here, so I was always coming down to the stadium. I always made it down for Opening Day until I was a little bit older and I had ball. But when I was younger, I always missed school.
Sure, the home-field is an advantage - but so is having a lot of talent.
