I've got a lot to prove to a lot of people, including myself.

The second-highest honor is playing for your country, and the highest honor is wearing the armband for your country. It shows that the players have confidence in me, and that feels good.

If I look back after 10 weeks and say I really want to stay then maybe I can make that happen. If I say OK it was good, but I’m ready to go then I can go, but for now I’m taking it week by week.

Americans love winners, so if we win we know we'll get a lot of support.

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.

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.

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