I love that I've been part of the growth, and I know it was a small part, but every bit mattered in our sport. I love the game. |
I remember sitting with John, |
I said it the other day, he's the Muhammad Ali of our sport. He's a name that you can mention anywhere in the world and everyone knows who he is. |
I think every week we've grown and I think we have a better understanding of each other. It's still a new team. My expectations at the start are like everyone else's in the league, and that's to try to win a championship. |
I want to be part of something big again with the national team. I fought back this far, there's no reason not to keep going. |
I was getting screamed at by everybody. I thought, 'They're not inviting me back. |
I'm so happy for Michael Bradley and the Bradley family. |
It was great. I'm happy I've been able to be part of it. |
It's hard to believe, it's not really what you think about when you're playing. To play in 100 national team games, it feels like a ... well, it's been an eternity. It's a big honor for me. |
Look at the excitement. It's incredible. I don't know if we can sustain this level, but this is what they have in Europe for the big clubs. It's fun. |
On a daily basis I have to stay on top of guys, that's what Mo told me to do. In the games you can't really hear me because it's so noisy ... so you have to do it in training. It takes a while, it's not going to happen overnight. We're going to have to survive a little bit on just instinct. |
Only in finals. They were incredible. |
Thank God for the rain delay today because I don't know what the heck was going on in the first 20 minutes. But we came out with a heckuva lot more intensity and we pumped the ball into their end of the field and battled. |
That's reinforcing the fact that something has changed. Owners are now refinancing with rates not being the main driver. |
The coach is dependent on the players. If we want him to stay, there's only one way to make him stay. We've got win games now. |
