We're going to be very solid on defense. The secondary is going to have to lead the defense because that is where we have the most seniors. I'm expecting great things back there, and I hope it will rub off on the other players. This is my senior season, and I'm ready. It's what a player dreams of.

We feel bad for Andray but the positive thing is that he is healthy and that his career isn't over before it took off.

Through my studies, I became increasingly disillusioned with the international aid system. I think we systematically deny poor people the chance to engage as equals in the global economic order.

We know we will have the same mental breakdowns that every team will have, we just have to hope they don't come at inopportune times. At least then we will be able to work on them during the weeks to come.

We know we took too many penalties against Latvia. You can't do that with the skill levels of the teams in this tournament. We're aware of what we have to do.

We know we have to improve defensively to be a contender down the stretch. I just hope we don't run out of time.

We know we have some hope here. We know we have the right guys. We just have to execute and we did that.
