battling care game
I don't know if we care about the result. At the end of the day it doesn't matter. It's not like we're battling to get a 0-0 draw. We're going to go play and make the game fun.

You can see that he already absolutely holds his own at this level, and I think that's incredible.
almost came game goal knew push worked
It's a game where they had to push and try to get a goal to win, so I knew when I came in there was going to be a lot of space. It worked out. We almost got the goal we needed.
bit easier expected
I'm so happy, man. They made it a little bit easier on us. I expected more. After we got the first one, they were never in the game.
ball good knows run soccer
He's just a good soccer player, ... He's been around for a long time. He knows where the ball should go, and he makes it happen. And I know that if I make a good run and get in the right position, he's going to find me.
clearly england experience good league lost since teams year
New England is clearly one of the better teams in the league that hasn't lost any of their players. So they're going to be as good if not better since they are a year older, have a year more experience and are a year more mature.

Ten years ago, the level was nowhere near what it is today. We have an obligation to do that and most people take that seriously.

conduct intend painful people themselves treat whatever
I don't like how they treat us, how they conduct themselves with us. They intend to humiliate us and want to do that at whatever cost. But the people who will be doing the humiliating is us. We'll do that in the most painful way of being humiliated, on the field.

I expected more from them. At least for the next three or four years, they'll shut up. They can't say anything.

Crucial, ... You don't want to worry about other results, you don't want to worry about getting a result in the sixth game. If you can finish it ... you finish it.
drama literally
Literally from the first minute, they went down, ... They wanted to make a big drama out of the game.
full game hard laying reason says special sunday thinking trying week
The reason I know how special this game is, is on Sunday night, a full week before the game, I was already thinking about the game laying in bed. And I never do that. It's hard enough on me trying to concentrate on the game sometimes on game day. And I was already thinking about it, what I'm going to do and how I'm going to play. How it's going to feel when we win. That says it all.
excuse excuses game
We've had excuses for part of the year, but we don't have excuses now. This is a game we need to win, period.
