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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.
