It's an awesome feeling. At the beginning of the year, people didn't expect much from us.

I didn't have my best stuff, but it worked well enough to set them down.

I was expecting them to walk me with the base open. I was surprised when they didn't.

We've said from the beginning whatever people are willing to contribute is fine with us.

People should not judge us on where we stand at the beginning of the season. If we start 3-7 in our first 10 games, it's OK if I see promise.

This is the best soccer we've played. I think a lot of people underestimated us at the beginning of the year. They've exceeded any expectations I had of them.
