American leagues - baseball, ice hockey, American football and basketball - you are the best. But in a global sport like soccer, you're not.

There is fireworks before the game; there is the national anthem before the game, so that is a huge difference to how it is in Germany: like, after the warmup, you touch the ball 20 minutes later. So that is a little bit different. The league, for example, the MLS is quite a young league, actually, but it is developing.

My wish is that soccer in the U.S. become on the same level like the Premier League, Spanish league, or the Bundesliga.
