Tyson Wahl

If you could play on any team, in any game, in any stadium in the world, which one would it be?


I would love to play for Manchester United at Old Trafford - that would be amazing. Once my parents bought Fox Soccer Channel in my younger days, I always made sure to watch them.

If you had to get a non-soccer job tomorrow what would it be?
At the moment I would be pretty unqualified, but I would be a psychologist.


Do you have a nickname? Where did it come from?
Bob Gansler nicknamed me Tyrone, but the guys recently gave me a new one that I will not disclose.


What is your favorite movie?
Ferris Bueller's Day Off and The Count of Monte Cristo.


Who would you most like to meet outside of the soccer world?
Any or all of the following: Will Ferrell, Vince Vaughn, and Owen Wilson.


Any advice you would give to a young soccer player?
Make sure you are always having fun and working harder than your friends.


Who are a few of your favorite recording artists and what is your favorite album from each of these artists?
In the past it was Tom Petty and the Beatles, but I currently listen to The Killers and Dredg's new album, "Catch Without Arms."


You're playing in a co-ed 2 v. 2 tournament - who do you want on your team?
Heather Mills, the U.S. Women's National Team player.


Which teammate has the worst style?
I am not in a position to call someone out, but the guys who style themselves off of other people have bad style.


Who takes the longest to groom themselves after games?
Nick Garcia enjoys primping himself.


What makes Kansas City Wizards fans the best in the nation?
They are extremely supportive, and one fan in particular makes the best chocolate chip cookies for every game.


Which country has been your favorite place to travel and why?
Switzerland is a very beautiful and relaxing country. I played on a field that was alongside the Alps. It was a great experience.
