For once, ... we'll be the home team playing against Mexico. |
I don't know what the problem is, what the deal is. I was ready to go. It was his call. He chose not to play me. |
I expect our fans to be getting on them, which is something we normally don't get against Mexico. |
I just want to be as vocal as I can. I am one of the veterans on the team and that comes with being the captain. |
I thought we were the aggressors most of the game, |
I thought we were the aggressors most of the game. But that's New England. They're a good team. Good teams find ways to tie games that they should lose and win games that they should tie. |
In the first half, we gave up a couple of stupid passes in the back. They didn't capitalize. It is all part of the game. |
In the locker room, we all are good with each other. |
It is not always bad to give up an early goal. It made us a more organized. It woke us up a bit. |
It was a much-needed three points. I think it was really big for Sig. I think there's a little bitterness for him when he left here, and I'm sure whenever you leave a team not in the best circumstances, you always want to beat them. |
It was definitely a battle. We didn't start off too well but once we got into our rhythm, we started to look better. The guys showed a lot of heart tonight. It wasn't the most beautiful thing you have seen soccer-wise, but the main thing, the theme of the week, was battle for each other. We did that a lot better today than in the two previous games. |
It's easier in the defense to talk to people ahead of you and tell them what to do. I think the communication is a little better on the field that way. |
Leading on the field, doing the dirty work, battling when you are tired and showing the guys the right mentality -- I bring that on the field. |
Nobody really knows who they are, so that could be a little bit of a positive. It'll be a little bit of a surprise. |
Of course, it is an honor. |
