All eyes will surely be on young phenom, Jamie Tartt.

We know you haven't been home in a while, so we thought we'd bring some home to you.

My little boy gave me a whole bunch of these.

My dad always used to pinch my earlobes for good luck.

Give me a fucking break.

I don't really have the same fondness for the American military that you do.

Without me, it would have been four nil, you miserable old pricks.

I haven't known you that long, but I can honestly say you are the best athlete I have ever coached.

Sometimes you forget that out there, you're just one of eleven.

If you just figure out some way to turn that "me" into "us", the sky's the limit for you.

That was a heck of a goal out there, by the way.

I am equally livid.
