I'll say Ante Jazic. He's got that Canadian, been-in-Europe too long sense of humor. He makes me laugh.
What percent of the Chivas USA roster could you beat in ping-pong?
I'm one hundred percent sure I could beat anyone on the team. I would guess the worst player would be Shavar Thomas. I've seen him do other activities that are similar to ping-pong, like bowling, and it was absolutely horrible.
Who would play you in the Hollywood version of your life?
Everyone says I look similar to Adrien Brody. He has a big nose and he's skinny. I guess he could do it.

If you could choose entrance music for when you came onto the field, what would it be?
I have a friend who's a rapper. His name is "Silent Army," and he just did a song where he actually says my name in it. I guess I'd have to choose that one. He just made it a month ago, so there isn't a title yet.
What's the most interesting place you've ever been in the world?
I like Japan. We went there with the Olympic team a couple of years back for some training and a few games and I really liked it. It's somewhere I'd like to go back to and check out on a vacation.
How many languages do you speak?
I speak one fluently, but I speak parts of a bunch more. I took French for three years, so I know a bit of that. I never took any formal Spanish, but I can understand it pretty well just being around a lot of Hispanic people over the years in California. My father is Serbian, so I try to listen to a bit of that too.
What sports do you play beside soccer?
I like to play golf. I try to play once or twice a week with my buddies. I like to play basketball as well. I also enjoy watching basketball and tennis. And it's the Clippers all the way for me.
What sport are you worst at?
Hockey isn't for me. I've messed around, but I can't skate very well. I think my puck handling skills are okay, but my skating is terrible. I'd kill myself on the rink.
Who's the most famous person in my cell phone?
Probably some of the guys I've played with over the years. Guys like Raphael Wicky or Claudio Suárez. Maybe Freddy Adu or Jozy Altidore.
What's the ugliest soccer jersey you've ever seen or worn?
I liked Claudio's answer where he said that Jorge Campos' jerseys were pretty ugly. Jorge has his own style and that's what made him famous. There's that team in Spain [Getafe] that's sponsored by Burger King where they have the face on the underside of the jersey. That's pretty funny.
