He is one of the first US players to appear in three World Cup's and -- 87 your career Major League soccer earning a spot on the league's all time best eleven team. Are so thanks for taking the time with us you're famous long flowing locks are gone. With the understanding he recently had a conference Jerry tells about the foundation to which you donated your hair."

" You know one -- I decided -- while ago I had a friend of mine. Who had little boy who's had a kind of touched me you know he he has grown to care for buddy of his who ended up having cancer and he told me the whole story about locks for love. And how the evening here goes to make in a week for kids who have cancer. So I you know I thought it was a great cause he kind of past would you do the same thing and I said yes so you know it's been out. It's been a good causes this here you know blocks to look at in twelve inches off what people are normally used to seeing my -- there. You know and -- teaming up with that team up against prostate cancer so those of the two things I've been doing this this summer. You -- retire from professional soccer for over six years now I don't keep yourself busy. You don't look I have a good time not to say that I do TV for -- to -- exports at the rapids I have my own radio show in Colorado. Which is nice guy I did some stuff blocks a lot of and the biggest thing for me is -- and coaching a little on the side. And teaming up with -- of the event this is is the prostate cancer awareness. Just it you know it's important for -- understand him when you talk about prost and I'm sure you've talked about it before and you kind of cringe a little bit and people. And we want people to be really really aware of -- and number one. Can't among men in the United States. What's the state and again in the United States right now. You know what is. I think it's improving every MLS is getting stronger and stronger and I think everybody's more is worried about quality on the field. On the US nesting you saw -- really -- a glossary nothing you can have good game -- back games important thing for the US is -- gettin' into the World Cup. And and that's -- that's basically the bottom line for soccer game and for a molest you know what. An important thing is growing and they're doing different things. Two to develop players but we're still miss I think the key element of our coaches don't tell our kids to pass the ball state of let them do what comes naturally. Dribble let him dribble let it dribble that's what we create the mess he's the cut 'cause overloading -- something the United States haven't had a while."

" Because president has expressed his frustration the MLS season does not run concurrently with defeat to international calendar -- you -- MLS it ditching their summer fall schedule anytime soon after the September through May season."

" You know I don't think we have a hardcore fan then today you have. In Europe or in South America you know this is a league which is fourteen years knew not all fourteen years new. Holing his European around pulling his Mexican soccer South America hundreds of years it's going to take some time I think eventually we will get there. But it is -- process I think right now that summertime is good for us eventually. You know they'd be tough to play I think about if you're planning DE if you're going to Colorado Kansas City. On January night where it's fifteen degrees twenty degrees it's -- more people show up I don't think we're there yet I think we're getting closer they expectations. Of our soccer fans the United States are so educated now and so much pressure is on our US team that I molesting because they're very knowledgeable fans. And finally you've teamed up the fight against prostate cancer tells about it. You -- it's been a great depth process my father my grandfather. An 88 ended up -- and with -- with diagnosed with the with prostate cancer. And was fortune have to get caught early enough and he survived it had surgery in all that stuff you know we're just trying to make people aware of it. And not make the word prostate cancer a taboo word where you create and you know it really is the number one cancer amongst men in the United States in its a great job what worked out of the event is has done what team up against prostate cancer to. To put a multi disciplinary. Crew together doctors -- you're diagnosed if you get it. That you have the resources and I think that's where it all comes down we -- men. Have to and it's why it's a week if it were pleading to the lights please help us and getting your husband's. Boyfriends to the doctor and make them feel comfortable enough to to ask a doctor for these for these kind of proceeds I guess you would say or exam. To get it done because it really is and very curable. Disease and it's caught early."
