A lot of forwards have been playing well so far. But I'm still in there. |
Coming back from this injury has been difficult, ... Those thoughts have been in my mind, but I have to put that behind me and just say those are freak accidents and won't happen again. Now I am more conscious of how I treat my body off the field, and that will help. |
Do you even know who I am? |
Guys believe in the system, and that's what works. When you're in a league like this where the talent is pretty even, the difference is your team chemistry. We have players who believe in each other. Our team concept is unbelievable. |
I don't look at it as an all-or-nothing, make-or-break game. I don't think I have to do it all here, but I think doing well here and showing well in the season is very important. |
I felt comfortable out there. Even if I have not been starting, I have been around the team all year, so the guys know the way I play and I know the way that they play. I am just glad that I could get out there and help as much as I could. It felt almost like the beginning of the season again for me. |
I think I left it (the game) the same way I came in. I had a couple of opportunities, but I think I could have done better. But I don't think I did bad. |
I think I played well today and you know it's up to him. All I can do is go out there and do the best I can every time I get out there, and I did that today. |
I think the way I've been playing right now ? I've been scoring goals in the league and playing well ? got me a spot on the team. Also, I think he (Arena) sees me as a (Brian) McBride-type player, a big guy up front, a target man. |
I think we had our chances and we were definitely dangerous toward the end of the game when we were pushing forward. We let our guard down a couple of times and they punished us for it. It's frustrating and personally I don't think I played very well. |
I was chomping at the bit to get in, ... We battled hard and it was a fair result. It starts us off on the right foot. |

I'll have enough time to get over it and be ready to face Jamaica. |
It feels great to be on a scoring streak. But he (Arena) told me I have to make an impact in the games I play. He wanted me to do that in the Germany game and he wants me to do it in this game. |
It was frustrating because I thought I had some momentum, |
