“I don’t see it as a burden at all. This is the pinnacle of a lot of people’s careers, playing in a World Cup, representing their country and that’s what I’m here to do. I’ve played in some big games, I’ve accomplished a lot, I’ve done a lot of things I wanted to do. But the World Cup is something on top of all of that. It’s something I’ve always wanted.
