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.
clear five four issue itself sort talent
Talent-wise, we are much deeper. We are deeper, one through 23, and that's a better thing. The thing we don't have that we had four years ago is as many clear leaders. This time, we have only four or five leaders. That's one issue that will sort itself out.
clear looking talent
Talent-wise, looking at our roster, we are deeper. But the thing we don't have that we did in 2002, is there are not as many clear leaders.
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.

It would be the best possible ending to our qualifying.

Crucial, ... You don't want to worry about other results, you don't want to worry about getting a result in the sixth game. If you can finish it ... you finish it.
bruce chance coaching depth good great guys mean next opportunity prove seven team
Bruce made a good comment. He said: 'We've qualified, and that's great. But let's get better over the next seven months. It doesn't mean you relax. Let's get better as a coaching staff, as a team. And guys that get a chance to play now should prove that they belong.' That makes the depth of our team better. It's a great opportunity for some guys.
level near nowhere obligation people ten
Ten years ago, the level was nowhere near what it is today. We have an obligation to do that and most people take that seriously.
absolutely chance focus happy hard imagine love national needs prefer reason says scenario team
Don't get me wrong. I'd love to play for the national team but if I had the chance to be here and focus here then I'd prefer to do that, ... The only way is if (Bruce Arena) absolutely needs me. It's hard to imagine a scenario where that would be the case. If he says 'Look, for this reason or that I need you there,' I'll go. I'd be happy to go. If he really doesn't need me to be there, I'd like to stay.
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.
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.
drama literally
Literally from the first minute, they went down, ... They wanted to make a big drama out of the game.
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.
