gone last three
For the last three years we've been in the semifinals, and once we've gone to the final,
flying opportunity
They (Germany) are going to come flying at us. This is just another opportunity for us to show what we can do.
good guys page result score
All 11 guys were on the same page and that 2-0 first-half score was a result of that. I just want to be a good target.
earlier good major matter pressure putting success surrounded
It's a matter of being more comfortable here with these guys. I'm just not putting as much pressure on myself as I did earlier in my career. A major part of my success is being surrounded by a lot of good players.
energy focus special toward
It's pretty self-explanatory, it's about time. I didn't put any focus on it or any special energy toward it.
chance game great hope obviously playing stadium stupid thinking
I hope we're not thinking it's patchwork. It would be stupid going into the game thinking we don't have a chance. I think everyone here is relishing the chance to play. Obviously the stadium is awesome. We're playing a great team. It should be a lot of fun.

heads played
We need to keep our heads up, because we played very well.
excitement guys playing
To be playing LA, in a rematch from '02, there's a little more excitement from the guys who've been around,
