You can do as many sprints as you want but there's nothing like playing in a 90-minute soccer game. There's no better way to gain your fitness, in my opinion, than playing in consistent games.

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

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

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

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.

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.

I've never scored a goal in my life without getting a pass from someone else.
