In my heart of hearts, I thought, if we get a 1-0 win and the team doesn't perform well, that would feel good.
sports goal important
The first goal is always important.
team player missing
I miss driving to Goodison Park. I miss just the positive energy of the fans walking into the stadium and how much they care about that club and the team. And I miss the players a lot.

I didn't have to step up into a leadership role, ... I just had to be there and help out where I could. But this year I had to be more of the man.

I sure am handsome. I cant lie. This is one handsome guy.
challenges world beats
I don't know about the rest of the world, but I know in our region everyone is gunning to beat us. We have a new challenge.
motivation team years
New England has two factors to get them ready to play. They've consistently been, if not the best, the second best team all year and they're playing confidently. And a lot of those guys were on field when they lost to LA. They'll take motivation in that.

I want to be a positive influence. I want to be someone who they want to call in and want here consistently, regardless of my role.
soccer sports thinking
I've never met anybody who says they don't like the World Cup. If you're a soccer fan or not, everybody loves watching it, and I think it could be the same for other sports.

There is something to be said for waking up every morning and seeing the sun.

Everything balled up into one: Beat Mexico and qualify. There's no better scenario.

I genuinely want to do my best every day, and I genuinely want to enjoy life every day.
soccer practice games
I'm lucky to be doing what I love, and I appreciate that I can make a good living doing it. I love to play soccer-whether it's in a game, practice or playing with friends-so it isn't like I'm under pressure at all.
