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.

It's always really challenging trying to go from player to player/coach. You have a kind of friendship basis of relationship with all of your teammates and now you go to this power position where you have to make decisions that might hurt people's feelings.

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.

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

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

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