Halfway through the decade, we realized that we had a great team and that we could do great things, and that we could probably have something here that we believed we had a chance to reach greatness.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We're still a great team. In your mind you can understand that but, emotionally, we needed to express the same belief. We came out full of fire and scored two early goals, two really beautiful goals, and that changed everything.
If we were the team that won out, then life was good and we felt that we were worth something.
Throughout my career, I was blessed with great teams and great teammates.
As far as talent goes, we had pretty much everything, and I think that's why this year was so successful.
And then '74 as I mentioned and then the 1990 world cup was our team was the team of the reunification you know, so we were the team for both sides of Germany so now, you know throughout the last 16 years, we've melted together. And now comes the next milestone.
You know, when you can play with the greatest players of that particular era, you look forward to going to the ballpark. I mean, you thought it was great to be there in the clubhouse. You thought it was great to be on the field.
I've been real fortunate to be on a lot of great teams.
When we went up against teams that were better, I just hoped that we could steal the victories.
You look at 2001, we were third in points and no one gave us much of a chance when the season started. We came back last year and had the same team, the same everybody and led points.
I'd like to see us improving on what we had last year.
