This match means so much. The US have not won a knockout game in the World Cup since I was two years old—it’s been 24 years. It was a game that was hard fought, ugly, heavy, and even going a man down—where you’d expect this team to capitulate—we stepped up and secured the victory. You can’t take this win for granted. Germany and Netherlands and Senegal and Ivory Coast would KILL to be in a position we’re in. We did something special. Now comes the most important game in USMNT history against the team that knocked us out in the same round 12 years ago. This opportunity is an absolute gift
