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

This might sound masochistic or narcissistic‚ I don't know‚ but when I'm not playing the game‚ the validations I feel about life are always through the hardships. I relate more to sadness‚ in a lot of ways‚ when I'm not playing.

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

If we can trust each other and leave everything-all our hearts-out on the field, I think we're going to have something to come home to and cheer about.

You never know if you can actually do something against all odds until you actually do it.

It's not pressure. It's responsibility We put it on ourselves.

I don't care who scores the goals, I'm going to leave my human beingness on the field!
