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.
expected four next shut three
I expected more from them. At least for the next three or four years, they'll shut up. They can't say anything.
believed expected lying time tough weeks
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,
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.
player expectations pressure
Do I feel pressure being a young player with high expectations? Nah.
expect love team winning
I love winning and any team I'm on, I expect to win. I don't think we could have said that 10 years ago.
best ending possible
It would be the best possible ending to our qualifying.
finish result sixth worry
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.
