(Revolution boss Steve Nicol) came to me a day or two beforehand and said I probably wouldn't start. I was fine with that and just said that I just felt like I could go but would be happy to be on the bench. In the game I hit a shot in the first half and just thought 'here we go, let's see.' It felt fine and that was good for my confidence.

It's an amazing high -- the highest of my soccer career. To be able to help the national team get to the World Cup by scoring a goal against Mexico, I don't know if I would have ever dreamed that.

But we talked about all week that set pieces were going to be an important part of the game, and that they were probably going to decide the game. And both of our goals came off those, so. I was in the right place at the right time. I don't think I was too involved in the game for the time I was in there. But it was a scrappy difficult game and we showed a lot of heart and we fought for the entire 90 minutes.

We're part of a team in M.L.S., and if I make the World Cup team, it would be disappointing to miss so much of the season. I wish we could hold our season on the same schedule as the rest of the world. Right now, our schedule from January to November is too long.
