We grew up together so it was nice to lead our countries against one another,
I like nice clothes, whether they're dodgy or not.
It's is always nice to be respected as a footballer. I am going to go out and enjoy the game and if I can set one or two goals up then so be it - I would love to.
There was the normal booing when I took corners but that's what the fans are there for - to give the opposition stick. It's nice when you're 1-0 up, you can smile - and you get a few smiles back sometimes
Me? I would love to be famous in America. I like the American people and I like the way they look up to Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods . I'm sure they criticize their stars occasionally but it doesn't reach the point where they ever put down their own people and their own stars. That's what's nice for me.
