I played in Europe and it was a great experience, not just because of my team-mates and the coaches we had, but from the fans and the city itself - I played in Gothenburg and I played in Lyon and soccer was everywhere. ↗

Many people say I'm the best women's soccer player in the world. I don't think so. And because of that, someday I just might be. ↗

The ball laughs, radiant, in the air. He brings her down, puts her to sleep, showers her with compliments, dances with her, and seeing such things never before seen his admirers pity their unborn grandchildren who will never see them. ↗

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. ↗

Like most people I can be lazy, so it's nice to have a goal or deadline or reason to work out. I feel better when I get to exercise, or when I'm outdoors. I like to hike, swim and run, and I love to play soccer. ↗

But I think it's also hard to get into soccer here. I think purely on a time level on television as well because of the ad breaks. It's something to do with that as well. You can't show a complete soccer match here. Which I kind of find a bit of an odd thing. ↗

My mom was always the supplier of soccer balls, and so people were always knocking on my door, and trying to get me out so we could play. ↗
