I'd be lying if I said I completely believed and expected we'd be here two weeks ago, after having a tough time at the end of the year,
excited exciting field stepping travel trying
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.
ahead careful excited
Obviously, we know them pretty well now and we are excited to play them at home. We have to be careful and not look ahead to (Wednesday).

I looked up and (Glen) was kind of fading away. So I just tried to put it in a good spot and he finished it. I don't know if he meant to, but he finished it.
ball beat behind control good next positions putting respect sure teams
We give teams too much respect sometimes, ... We wanted to come out and put them under pressure. If they were good enough to beat it and get out of it, fine, but I didn't think they would be and sure enough getting the ball behind them, getting fouls and putting them in uncomfortable positions and next you know you're in control of the game.

full game hard laying reason says special sunday thinking trying week
The reason I know how special this game is, is on Sunday night, a full week before the game, I was already thinking about the game laying in bed. And I never do that. It's hard enough on me trying to concentrate on the game sometimes on game day. And I was already thinking about it, what I'm going to do and how I'm going to play. How it's going to feel when we win. That says it all.
game good team
We had a good team game plan. I wanted to put on a show, though, and I did.

We qualified, and that is great. But let us get better over the next seven months. It does not mean you relax. Guys that get a chance to play now should prove that they belong. And that makes the depth of our team better.
clearly england experience good league lost since teams year
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.
beat game
It's not just another game for me. I clearly, absolutely, desperately want to beat them.
beat best matter team time
No matter how many time you beat them its always 'whose the best team in CONCACAF',
expect game maybe people slower sunday wide
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.
country deserves hit people
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.
