I was on the sideline with a knee injury and when I came back, I wanted to play at the best level I could. And that's the case for a lot of players, they want the chance to play against the best competition.
soccer player levels
Sure we have skilled players, but the biggest thing might just be that we are so well conditioned and how we can play for 90 minutes at a high tempo which is needed in soccer at an international level.

I think there are also a lot of kids, boys and girls, who are picking up the sport, and we're continuing to get better and better as the years go on.

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.

Countries that are crazy about soccer the last thing they want to do is lose to the U.S. There is a lot more pressure on them to beat us.
