beat bet bit nine ourselves
Would I bet that nine times out of 10 we're going to beat Brazil? Probably not. Could we beat Brazil? Absolutely. So you have to be a little bit realistic, but we want to put ourselves in that situation. And if we're in that situation, I would still be confident.
everybody game home job night opening send win
We're getting our rings, it's opening night and it's going to be exciting. It's our job to win the game and send everybody home happy.
behind finish game good hopefully move points sure third wednesday
We still need to get points and make sure that we at least finish third in the West. But it is a good game to put Wednesday behind us and hopefully move forward.
continue goal
Our goal is to continue progressing in the World Cup,
drama literally
Literally from the first minute, they went down, ... They wanted to make a big drama out of the game.
ball teams walking
I think too often we let teams off the hook. When you get fouled, there's a lot of times you can put the ball down and play, and teams are kind of walking back. At this level, it can make a difference.
almost beat beyond lives people sweeter
I think that's what angers them about us. We have lives beyond soccer. For a lot of them they don't, players, coaches, people in Mexico, that's what they have. It's almost what makes it sweeter to beat them.
beyond lives soccer talk
I think that's what angers them about us, because we have lives beyond soccer and many of them don't . . . That's why they talk and say the things they do, because they can't do it on the field.
bit easier expected
I'm so happy, man. They made it a little bit easier on us. I expected more. After we got the first one, they were never in the game.
deserves extremely happy impressed
I'm stunned, impressed and extremely happy for him. He deserves his reward.
certainly gone motivated prepared wish
I was better prepared and I was pretty motivated tonight, ... I certainly wish it could have gone better and I could have got another goal.
excuse excuses game
We've had excuses for part of the year, but we don't have excuses now. This is a game we need to win, period.
against attitude came change crowd everybody game happen learn needs people playing plays strong team teams tonight urgent win
We came out and we were playing at home, we had a strong crowd and we were getting our rings. I don't know if because of that we thought we were just going to come out and win the game - but it doesn't happen that way. Not against a team like that. We better learn fast, or we are going to struggle. Teams come here and they want to win, especially New England. Our attitude wasn't urgent enough and it comes down to people making plays and we didn't make plays. Everybody needs to do that, and tonight they made the play to change the game.
clear deeper four leaders
We are deeper from one through 23 and a better team. The thing we don't have that we had four years ago was not as many clear leaders on the team.
