almost anywhere coach element gives knows tempo timing
Claudio gives us an element we can't get anywhere else. He understands timing and tempo in a game. He knows when to go, he knows when not to go. It's almost like having a coach on the field. It's incredible.
ball good knows run soccer
He's just a good soccer player, ... He's been around for a long time. He knows where the ball should go, and he makes it happen. And I know that if I make a good run and get in the right position, he's going to find me.
consistent constantly europe guy highest knows level played player settle team wants yell
He's been our most consistent player that's played in Europe and has played at the highest level for a long time. He doesn't yell at people. He doesn't say much, but he's just calming. Our team constantly wants to go, go, go, and he's the guy that knows when to settle it down. But he also knows when to go. You always want him on the ball. He's going to make things happen. It's invaluable.
beat comments game save sounds until
I know that sounds weird. But that's how I feel. It's not just another game for me. I clearly, desperately want to beat them. I'll save my comments until after the game.
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.
four next shut three
After we got that first goal, they were never in the game. Hopefully, this will shut them up for the next three or four years.
best ending hope possible
I hope we can do it. It would be the best possible ending to our qualifying.
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.
gotta moment
I have no regrets, and I am not sorry, ... You gotta do what you gotta do, and in that moment that's what I did.
beat best matter team time
No matter how many time you beat them its always 'whose the best team in CONCACAF',
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.
excited field hopefully madrid short stepping three time travel trying tuesday wins
(It's been) tiring, ... but two wins (in a short time frame) is always good. Hopefully we can make it three on Tuesday in Madrid ... I'm not excited about the travel and trying to recover, but I think stepping out on the field there will be really cool.
seemed slow step
It just seemed like they were a step slow the whole game. I don't know if it was them being slow or us being excited.
