This season, the defender has appeared in six games, starting three.
- What is your favorite goal celebration?
“The one from Puerto Rico with James [Marcelin]. It’s a weird dance, I can’t explain it, but it’s my favorite.”
Watch the goal celebration here.
- What is your favorite pre-game meal?
“I get a bowl at Chipotle with extra meat, double rice, black beans and pinto beans. It’s solid.”
- What do you like to do when you aren’t playing soccer?
“I like to give Tiyi [Shipalane] a lot of trouble. I make a lot of jokes about Tiyi for being old. I also like to go for long walks.”
- What do you have in Trinidad that you wish you could have here?
“I definitely wish I could have my son here. I’ve got the sun and the good weather here, but I’d like to have my son here.”
- What are your goals for this season, both individually and for the team?
“Individually, I think I’m at 75 appearances and I’d like to hit a century, if I can get there. As a team, I’d like to win a championship and bring a trophy back home to North Carolina. I’ve never won a major trophy outside of Trinidad, so I’d like to do that.
Kareem Moses and North Carolina FC will be back in action this weekend, as the team travels to face the New York Cosmos at MCU Park in Brooklyn on Saturday, June 10. The team returns home for the fourth round of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup to face the Houston Dynamo of the MLS on Wednesday, June 14 at Sahlen’s Stadium at WakeMed Soccer Park.
