In this league, I haven’t seen anybody better than Dwayne De Rosario
Different systems, different coaching philosophies, different players, different styles, different roles ... Your family’s relocating, schools, doctors … all that you gotta bear in mind. And you gotta do it overnight. And that’s not easy.
Believe me, it took a lot out of me to go out there and perform at 100 percent
Different systems, different coaching, different philosophies, different teammates, everything
If I could exchange this to play on Sunday, I would in a heartbeat
D.C. is a club with a lot of history, but we didn't reach our goal this year ... You put on that jersey and see four stars, it's prideful, and each time you put that jersey on you see how hard the guys play for it. We want five stars above that crest, it's a mindset. You see how much effort it takes to ...

Teams are vulnerable right after they score and we used that to our advantage
It's important that in any situation that comes to us, we always have to come with our best performance. We always have to work hard and outwork our opponents. We're gradually growing towards that
Overcoming the obstacles of being relocated, playing amongst different players, adapting was definitely difficult
I hope it would serve as motivation
When you look in the mirror, you ask yourself, did I do everything I could?
