The most important thing for me is to play really well for D.C. the first month of April. That's it right there. I think some spots are up in the air right now for the World Cup, so you never know.

fear goals impress played playing trying
Before, I played with fear because there was a lot of pressure, and, being as young as I was, it got to me a little bit, ... Now I'm getting game-winning goals for D.C. (United) and assists and just playing very well. I'm (no longer) trying to impress anybody. I just do my thing.

anybody came confidence couple destroy games gets guys huge last lost morale took
This was huge for the morale of the team. The way we lost the last couple of games was just 'Ouch!' That would just destroy anybody on any team, but not D.C. United. These guys have so much confidence that nothing gets us down, so we just came out and took it to them.
best calls couple field guess home lose next performance week
Unfortunately a couple of calls didn't go our way and we lose again. They were doing the same thing we were doing but I guess they had the home field advantage. I don't know what else to say. It is frustrating, week in week out you play well one week and the next you don't get the best performance that you can get.

We wish we would have gotten the three points, but it was slow start from us. I guess there were a lot of nerves. We settled down in the second half and played our game. It was a great comeback.

When you get into the game you've got be thinking, when I get into the attacking third I'm gonna be freakin' creative.
anyone contrary everywhere
Obviously, I'm at the beginning of my career, contrary to what anyone else thinks. I'm 19 years old. In any other country, everywhere else, you're a prospect. And that's what I am right now in Europe. I'm a prospect. I'm not a seasoned veteran.
asking guys looking older step youngest
I've always been one of the youngest guys on the team. But now I'm one of the older guys, one of the more experienced guys, and I have to be more of a leader. The guys are looking up to me, asking me questions and looking at me to step up.
