00:00 How does it feel to guide this team to a three-peat here in Concacaf?

00:05 It feels great. That was our focus. We talked about it in the beginning of the camp.

00:09 I showed the Michael Jordan slide when he's holding up the

00:13 three fingers with the trophy and that's what we wanted. Also, we

00:18 photoshopped the Nations League trophy into the same picture of Michael Jordan.

00:21 So that was what we're focused on. It doesn't happen too often.

00:26 I think in North American sports in the last 50 years, pro sports, it's probably

00:30 happened six times. So it's rare. Congratulations to the guys.

00:37 Congratulations for playing a great final. I think that's the other thing

00:40 that needs to be said is that we really performed well tonight and we're happy.
