against attitude came change crowd everybody game happen learn needs people playing plays strong team teams tonight urgent win
We came out and we were playing at home, we had a strong crowd and we were getting our rings. I don't know if because of that we thought we were just going to come out and win the game - but it doesn't happen that way. Not against a team like that. We better learn fast, or we are going to struggle. Teams come here and they want to win, especially New England. Our attitude wasn't urgent enough and it comes down to people making plays and we didn't make plays. Everybody needs to do that, and tonight they made the play to change the game.

beat bet bit nine ourselves
Would I bet that nine times out of 10 we're going to beat Brazil? Probably not. Could we beat Brazil? Absolutely. So you have to be a little bit realistic, but we want to put ourselves in that situation. And if we're in that situation, I would still be confident.
bruce camp soccer turned
When he comes into camp now, he's more vocal, he's more of a leader, he's more demanding, he's more aggressive. He's turned into what Bruce has called a real soccer player.
past road rut training
We (had) been in a rut for the past 12-13 games. Now we don't have any excuses. Everyone's here. Everyone is available, ... We have all the training time. We have only two more road games. We've got to show that we belong.
four love shut sweeter three
The only thing sweeter would have been to score. At least for three or four more years they will shut up and can't say anything and I love it.
soccer moving goal
Most of us are in this more than just for playing soccer. We're in it for the bigger goal - to move it along for the next generation.
careers watches spectators
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.
