Do you ever regret not plying your trade in Europe longer? You helped launch the MLS, but you could also have been the standard bearer for American footballers abroad.

Nope. One of proudest moments of my life was getting on the plane from Italy and flying back to US to start MLS in '96.

You, Strong, and Donovan in a round of golf. Who wins?

u/AlexiLalas replied
