I was on the sideline with a knee injury and when I came back, I wanted to play at the best level I could. And that's the case for a lot of players, they want the chance to play against the best competition.

Sure we have skilled players, but the biggest thing might just be that we are so well conditioned and how we can play for 90 minutes at a high tempo which is needed in soccer at an international level.

The original injury happened in the Arsenal game (Oct. 22). It's been really sore and didn't feel right. I couldn't train through the week and I was just trying to get through games.

What I've noticed in this game is how EA has even duplicated my moves and my style of play perfectly. It is really incredible and a lot of fun to play.

They're in Europe this year, ... They play really good attacking soccer. That's the way Keegan likes playing. There's a lot of good players in the club. Everything about it is exciting, the training ground, the stadium, the whole package.

Then I came back and restarted at the UW that fall.
