My decision to return to the MLS is one that I have made with thoughtful consideration.

Family is the most important thing in the world. If everything ended tomorrow and my family was still there, I'd be the happiest man alive.

The first goal is always important.

In my heart of hearts, I thought, if we get a 1-0 win and the team doesn't perform well, that would feel good.

Do I feel pressure being a young player with high expectations? Nah.

I used to focus more on scoring. Now I take a lot of pride and pleasure in helping someone else do well.

Most of us are in this more than just for playing soccer. We're in it for the bigger goal - to move it along for the next generation.
