Playing at home is always better. You get to sleep in your own bed, drive your own car, and see your own fans.

It's always great to perform at home in the good ol' U.S.A.
The fans really know basketball in Sacramento. They knew when we really needed their support and they were a big part of our success here.
Rooting is following, and I don't do that, but I'd like to see the Phillies win because I love Philadelphia.

I kind of press pause when it's a derby, and the season doesn't matter to me anymore; it's all about the derby.
What a perfect way to end the home stand, by hitting sixty-two for the city of St. Louis and all the fans. I truly wanted to do it here and I did. Thank you St. Louis.
When United play at home, they get some advantage that other teams don't get. I think when you go to United, Madrid, Barcelona, or Milan, when the referees referee these kind of games, it's always difficult to go against these kind of teams.
It's a privilege to be able to play a host country in a host nation, because it's just that much bigger and these are the type of games that we love.

You can feel a bit of extra pressure bowling at your own ground.
The good thing about playing at home is that the crowd makes you feel that, sooner or later, you can win the game. We feel it on the pitch.
