team moving athlete
The contracts are structured different than athletes in America, but for me, it was good to move on and go back to playing in the premiere league, which is the best league. It was disappointing, as far as the team goes, but for me, there wasn't much I could do.

It'll be nice to represent the club at the World Cup and it's just nice to know your future too, and that the manager knows that I'd like to stay here. I like where the club's going and it's a great place to play your football. There's really nowhere else I'd like to go.

It's in our hands now. We don't have to look at other results.

Sometimes we're the big game in town. Other times, we're just kind of a sideshow.
