You really can't replace those guys. They did their job every game with an A-plus performance.

It was another solid performance. Our defense improved, but we were a little weak in some areas of the midfield.

It was a long tournament. The Midlands is a real grinder. I suppose I was happy with my performance.

It was a poor performance, but good result. We dominated the game, but couldn't convert that into goals.

That's the great thing about being an actor: Stuff shows up that you never thought was going to go down. You get to play or experience an area of the world that - you know, I live a pretty simple life, I'm not much of an adventurer. I like my couch and my television. So when stuff comes up in the job, it's a good deal.

It's certainly anyone's prerogative to say, 'I liked something more when it was this' or blah blah. But there's a kind of laziness as a consumer of entertainment, I think, to wish that something was repeating itself and doing the same thing. But to each their own, and I do it all the time. I've dropped television shows as a viewer.
