Beyond the Game: Andreya Barrera

If you had a plane ticket to anywhere in the world, where would you travel? “I would go to Spain. I’ve actually never been out of the country, so I’d probably go to Barcelona. I just think it’s really nice there.”

If you were an animal, what animal would you be and why? “Well, my favorite animal is a cougar. I don’t know why. I just think they’re different because everyone likes lions and tigers and cheetahs but nobody ever thinks of cougars, so I’ve liked cougars since I was little.”

If a song played every time you walked into a room, what song would that be? “I would say it would have to be ‘Forgot about Dre’ by Dr. Dre and Eminem.”

If you could be any character from any movie or TV show, what character would you be? “Honestly, I don’t know, I’ve never been asked that question. I mean, like, my favorite kid movie is ‘Lilo and Stitch,’ so I like Lilo. I mean, I like Stitch, too, either one.”

Who is the funniest person on the team? “I guess it would be Daniela Cantu; she’s pretty funny.”

Do you have any hidden talents? “No, I mean, I can make a heart with my lips, [laughter] really weird.”

If you weren’t playing soccer, what sport would you play? “I’d probably do track or cross-country. I don’t mind to run. A lot of people don’t like it but, I mean, I could do it.”

You can have one meal with one celebrity. What is your meal and who are you eating it with? “I would say it would be Lionel Messi, and it would be probably Mexican food. I love Mexican food, enchiladas preferably.”

Would you rather fight 100 duck-sized horses or one horse-sized duck? “I think I could do the horse-sized duck. It’s just one. Go big or go home, I guess.”
