absolutely believe best confidence game league playing poorly season switched team turned
I didn't really believe we could do it, ... I thought the season was over. We went from being a team that had absolutely no confidence and was playing as poorly as any team in the league to a team that in one game switched everything around and turned into the best team in the league.
anywhere mexico playing
We know, playing anywhere other than Mexico City, we're the better team.
playing realize starting
He should go to Vegas. He's been unbelievable. He's working hard. He's doing the right things and he's getting better every game. It's a lot different playing here, and I think he's starting to realize that and he's doing the right things and being rewarded.
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.
playing
We were getting slaughtered, ... We weren't playing well at all yet we're up, two-zero. But that's soccer.
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.
