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.

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

Some things you can shake off, some things dig deeper than soccer.

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

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

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.
