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

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.

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

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

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

I've never met anybody who says they don't like the World Cup. If you're a soccer fan or not, everybody loves watching it, and I think it could be the same for other sports.

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.
