Everything balled up into one: Beat Mexico and qualify. There's no better scenario.

I miss driving to Goodison Park. I miss just the positive energy of the fans walking into the stadium and how much they care about that club and the team. And I miss the players a lot.

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.

The first goal is always important.

I'm lucky to be doing what I love, and I appreciate that I can make a good living doing it. I love to play soccer-whether it's in a game, practice or playing with friends-so it isn't like I'm under pressure at all.

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.

I genuinely want to do my best every day, and I genuinely want to enjoy life every day.
