Replying to a redditor:

> 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.
