You must not only have competitiveness but ability, regardless of the circumstance you face, to never quit

I'm not going to tell people how to live their life and I surely wouldn't tell people my life is the way you should be living. People get to choose what they do want to do with their life and I appreciated that.

Today was about execution, period. Every single player, all of us in the dressing room right now, we’re embarrassed because that’s not the way we want to play soccer.

No I or individual is better than the team. I've scored no goals just on my own. Every goal I've ever scored has been because of someone else on my team, their excellence, their bravery. And I'm kind of the end product of a collection of a really good vibe, and feeling, and creativity on the field.

If given a really great chance, I'm going to put it away every single time.

Four goals in (16) minutes. Literally I don't even know how that happens especially in a World Cup final.

To watch people push themselves further than they think they can, it's a beautiful thing. It's really human.
