MP: “No doubt. Geoff and I go way back, too. He’s from just outside Rhode Island, but he considers himself a Rhode Island guy, I think. It’s a small state, so it’s nice that we were both able to get as far as we have. To meet up on a stage like this with the National Team, it’s nice for the club. Bayside was a great club. That’s where I learned to have fun with soccer. That’s where it all started for both of us. Winning trophies and playing indoor soccer and just loving it, like every little kid does. Playing six games in two days and not being tired and going out there all the time. Those days were a lot of fun. Luckily I’m still able to do it 20 years later, and I’m still having fun. Thankfully I was able to be a part of that club.”
