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.

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

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.

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 miss driving to Goodison Park. I miss just the positive energy of the fans walking into the stadium and how much they care about that club and the team. And I miss the players a lot.

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.

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