Fortunately for me, its my most favorite drill, and that is finishing. However, from a young age, soccer players in this country are not taught how to properly finish, and I think you see that through the professional ranks, that we dont have that killer instinct of the forwards from other countries.

There is something to be said for waking up every morning and seeing the sun.

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.

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.

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

I didn't have to step up into a leadership role, ... I just had to be there and help out where I could. But this year I had to be more of the man.

I don't know about the rest of the world, but I know in our region everyone is gunning to beat us. We have a new challenge.
