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.
best despise good jealous life mexican team win
They are jealous of us, the Mexican players, because we've got a life and they have nothing, ... Because of that they despise us. ... Who is going to win this game? The best team. And we know good and well who is the best team between the U.S. and Mexico. We know it well.
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.

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.
winning support winner
Americans love winners, so if we win we know we'll get a lot of support.
team heart winning
In my heart of hearts, I thought, if we get a 1-0 win and the team doesn't perform well, that would feel good.
sports team winning
I love winning and any team I'm on, I expect to win.
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.
