I like the way Luis Suarez plays. When I was growing up, I was a Liverpool fan, and I watched a lot of him when he came to Liverpool. He did a really good job.

It was tough, so hard; it really was horrible when I was growing up. I was called so many names, all sorts.

When I look back to being a 10-year-old girl, I never could have dreamt of having this pathway. I feel very fortunate and proud, but I know I have to be part of creating new opportunities for the youth coming through.

Anyone who plays professional sport for a living is extremely lucky, and that's my overriding feeling - I believe I have the best job in the world!

Sure, it's nice to get appreciation from the outside. But generally, I don't think personal accolades are appropriate in football.

Supporters don't like the idea of people going to ground too easily. Everyone who has ever played football, everyone who's been involved, would hate that. You'd be saying, 'Get Up!'

Women's combat sports have been on a good run in the United States. Claressa Shields won a gold medal in women's boxing at the London Olympics in 2012, when it became a medal sport. American women won medals in taekwondo and judo as well.

I just want to go out there and just play basketball. That's when I have the most fun and when everybody around me has the most fun as well.
