He kept everybody off balance, I guess. He moves the ball pretty good. He's a veteran guy. He knows we're aggressive.

It's happened to me before. I was kind of (ticked) off yesterday, but that's because we lost the game. Tonight I'm excited ... that we won the game.

It's special. I've been on national teams before, but this is bigger, more prestigious.
finish game good percent situation start
I don't want to put myself in a situation where I play, and then have to come out of the game. I know I'm not going to feel 100 percent (today), but I want to feel good enough to start the game and finish it.

I think it's going to exceed everybody's expectations. (The fans) are going to see a lot of big league players and good games.

I felt very sad and at the same time very proud.

It wasn't that difficult coming back. We lost that game. But we're still alive. If we beat Mexico, then we play Venezuela again, and we'll see what happens.

We know the first month has got to be good if we're going to make a run. We know that. That's why we're doing the best we can to get ready and do better than last year.
