It's a game where they had to push and try to get a goal to win, so I knew when I came in there was going to be a lot of space. It worked out. We almost got the goal we needed. |
It's a sign of respect, right? They don't yell that to anyone else. I'm sure they wish I hadn't come tonight. |
It's difficult mentally, physically to always be at 100%. There are times in the year when you have injuries that may barely allow you to play, ... There may be things at home. When I have one thing to focus on, I feel like I play my best. |
It's exciting to have him here, but you don't want to get too excited because you don't know how's he's going to progress. We all want him to be part of this team because he makes us all better, so I'm cautiously optimistic — and hopeful. |
It's just a number, but it's special. There's not a lot of people in this country or in the world that have hit 100, so he's been around a long time. He deserves it. |
It's not just another game for me, |
It's not just another game for me. I clearly, absolutely, desperately want to beat them. |
It's soccer, so you never know. Maybe the game Sunday will be a little slower and wide open. I think people will expect a lot of goals. |
It's time to show up, simply put, |
Literally from the first minute, they went down, ... They wanted to make a big drama out of the game. |
Most of us are in this more than just for playing soccer. We're in it for the bigger goal ? to move it along for the next generation. |
My decision to return to the MLS is one that I have made with thoughtful consideration, |
New England has two factors to get them ready to play. They've consistently been, if not the best, the second best team all year and they're playing confidently. And a lot of those guys were on field when they lost to LA. They'll take motivation in that. |
New England is clearly one of the better teams in the league that hasn't lost any of their players. So they're going to be as good if not better since they are a year older, have a year more experience and are a year more mature. |
No chance. I've got to find it somehow. It'll be more exciting when I get there. I'm not excited about the travel and trying to recover, but I think stepping out on the field there is going to be really cool. |
