The people I still talk to are some of the old Galaxy players all over the place. That's a bond that's pretty special.

I've been working on my finishing for quite some time. It's just a question of paying attention to the minor details.

I've been through the process qualifying for the World Cup, which is an amazing, two-year process. It was an honor to represent the U.S. and to represent the city of Los Angeles and California.

That's one of my jobs, just trying to do what I can to help this team out as much as possible.

We didn't think we were a fourth-place team. For us to beat the first-place team in the West and the first-place team in the East shows the dedication and determination that we had.

Looking back now at my first World Cup experience, I didn't know what was going on. I was a newbie and I had no idea what to expect.

Traveling is not a hindrance for me; it's something I actually enjoy.
