I was very excited, I wasn't nervous. I just got out there and played my game. The guys have been awesome to me the last three weeks. I got out there and just tried to help the team out. We didn't pull out the win, but it's a good first step. We know where we stand now and are going to go back and work hard to try to get ready for Norway.

Whenever you get the chance to represent your country in a World Cup, it's a great honor. It's a chance to show the world what you've got. I'm looking forward to it. I do wish, though, that I would be able to stay here and play with D.C. a little bit more, because this is an important stretch for us right now.
