Having Claudio and John makes it easy on me because they do all the work. I don't have to worry about getting the ball and moving it from side to side or finding people. They do that. I just get in front of the goal and try to score, so it's going to be fun for me.

It's got to be harder in real life to win a World Cup. But depending on if you play World Class level on FIFA, it's going to be difficult to win in the video game, too.

Fortunately for me, it's my most favorite drill, and that is finishing. However, from a young age, soccer players in this country are not taught how to properly finish, and I think you see that through the professional ranks, that we don't have that killer instinct of the forwards from other countries.

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.

I genuinely want to do my best every day, and I genuinely want to enjoy life every day.

Everything balled up into one: Beat Mexico and qualify. There's no better scenario.
