As a spectator, you get to watch everything, but I'd much rather be playing than watching. I'll have time to watch later in my career.

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

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

I sure am handsome. I cant lie. This is one handsome guy.

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

New England has two factors to get them ready to play. They've consistently been, if not the best, the second best team all year and they're playing confidently. And a lot of those guys were on field when they lost to LA. They'll take motivation in that.

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.
