We were hoping that soccer stadium would have some athletics facilities and a track associated with it, but as I understand it, the powers that be don't want to have a track there. We were disappointed to see that.

Chris Rudge

She's a cheerleader who came out for soccer, and she's very good.

Ian Cooke

It was a great game to watch as both teams played excellent soccer. I'm quite pleased with our team as it keeps improving each game.

Doug West

It's really a neat story. It's what the Dallas Cup is all about. They are marvelous kids and wonderful players. It's nice to give them the chance to stop worrying about everything and just play soccer. You can see it in their faces--they don't have a fear or a concern.

Gordon Jago

Soccer speaks for itself. It doesn't matter where you're from.

Gabe Taboada

We felt after that first year that we had great soccer potential. We started looking specifically for people who would bring us to the state level.

Bob Heintz

I just randomly got the idea, that fencing would be fun and no one else does it. I have asthma so I couldn't do a lot of other sports, like soccer and basketball, fencing a perfect fit for me.

Cassandra Partyka

We can co-exist with soccer, absolutely. They're essentially a summer sport and we're winter. We'll make it work beautifully.

Brian Waldron

There's actually a little sense of relief. All the pressure is behind us. Now we can just play soccer.

Michael Gillman

Everybody in the soccer community has jumped onboard. Regardless of our individual agendas at the youth clubs and the college level and beyond, everybody has kind of embraced it and it's united the soccer community.

Chris Price

Harlan is very much improved over the last couple of years. They've got some very good soccer players.

Jim Thrane

If I am not drafted, I would have to sit down and think whether I want to put in the extra effort to make it on the pro soccer level or go the alternative route and get a normal job.

Trevor Mceachron

To put it in perspective, there are about 9,000 Division III men?s soccer players. And for David to be named the top player in the country, that?s great stuff. It?s really something for him to be proud of.

Dave Brandt

Mike and his staff have worked very hard and we all hoped for a turnaround, but it doesn't seem to be happening. We have an obligation to the fan base of the Dallas Burn and Major League Soccer to put a competitive team on the field.

John Wagner

After all these years, I'm finally into soccer. The World Cup is on, and my band is an international group - they're all around me, cheering in the hotel bars.

Art Garfunkel

When I first took over, I had a bunch of kids who wanted to play soccer. Now I have a bunch of soccer players who aspire to be champions. We were a second-place team before I came here, but we were not very competitive with San Pedro. Now we can hang with anyone in the City.

Mike Sais

The players were issued individual letters. They were not supposed to play any competitive soccer at the weekend.

Lee Sterrey

I've gotten frustrated before, but I always have (Katie) to talk to. She's gone through the same things with soccer.

Amy Simpson

We're proud of the people who are supporting us; the crowd here has been great. But we're trying to show our whole country we can be better than soccer; we can be bigger.

David Cortes

For those folks in town, this is a good environment with some good soccer to watch.

Mark Albertus

There were some concerns with the soccer program. It was part of the discussion. But I feel confident both programs will keep going strong.

Jay Woudstra

There's probably not many coaches in the state who can say their team has not given up a regulation goal at this point. That's a long time in a soccer game.

Diane Davey

I wasn't playing soccer consistently last year. I was in Europe, then I was injured. I just want to play with the team.

Tony Lochhead

Jim believes in what NIU soccer can be. His enthusiasm and passion is contagious, his attitude convinced me this was a place I wanted to be.

Marci Miller

Craftsbury played really strong, skill-based soccer for an entire game. Though we were outplayed, we played hard and right through to the end of game.

Dr. Karen Alexander

We've said it all along that we think St. Louis is a great market for a Major League Soccer team. The good news is we have a number of individuals that have come to us in recent months with interest in the St. Louis area and looked at feasibility studies and potential sites and have come to meet with us.

Dan Courtemanche

She is experienced [in the net] and has played with my defensive backs both in club and high school soccer, so they have a great connection with one another. They have a great sense of security with one another.

Lula Bauer

Every soccer player thinks of the World Cup or the Olympics. And I'd love to play professionally; it doesn't matter if it's here or in Mexico.

Irving Garcia

There's this naive belief in our soccer that everything is going to be solved by naming a new coach. These plans are based on the idea that if we get the system right then the new man has a better chance of succeeding.

Trevor Phillips

If they have a picture of themselves in their soccer uniform and a picture of their high school in the background, that's too much. That's how a predator can find them.

Clint Van Zandt

I took up tennis only because we were allowed to play soccer after our regular training.

Shamil Tarpishchev

I'm very upset personally and it was not a beautiful day for Italian soccer.

Franco Carraro

I think she wanted that (challenge of attending Navy). She entertained a lot of offers from higher nationally ranked soccer programs but felt like the whole Navy experience is what she wanted.

Ben Beasley

We look forward to working with the three levels of government as we prepare for construction of the stadium in early 2006 and while we finalize our franchise agreement with Major League Soccer.

Richard Peddie

I think it's one of the reasons that the NFL is the most popular sport in the world, besides soccer.

Ike Hilliard

He was a soccer person, so I didn't know him. I talked to him about the possibility of playing football. We knew that he was a good athlete. We were fortunate that he decided to play.

Chico Lynch

She is our best defensive player. Carly is very strong and aggressive and could play on a lot of boys teams. Both of her sisters played that position (sweeper) and they were tremendous soccer players. It is something in their genes.

Art Weaver

We have a really good seventh-grade class. Even though they're small, their soccer skills are so developed that there isn't that safety issue as much as there was before.

Lisa Colley

In my prior daily routine in Santiago, where the Jewish population is quite small, my main contacts were with other soccer players, none of them Jewish.

Matias Mondschein

We had always been able to put together three full teams of nothing but Sauk Rapids kids in youth soccer, so I knew the interest was there.

Nathan Hampton

We learned we are going to stick to our way of soccer, but of course we are not going to open up and you know, let the opposition score a goal in the first 50 minutes, ... This is two games and then the winner is going to go to the next round. So, as I said, we are going to play our way but I am going to keep in mind that one goal can change everything like we saw today.

Peter Nowak

It was a good goal that came from some good soccer, so you've got to like that. It was good for Ella to get the goal; she worked extremely hard all game. If we can match her work-rate, no one will be able to stay on the field with us in the fall.

Janet Rayfield

There is baseball and softball. There is boys' basketball and girls' basketball. So if they're going to have a boys' soccer team, why not have a girls' team?

Ariel Cavanaugh

There's a lot of interest. But an entire NFL season, when so many people like soccer better? ... For the NFL, it should be `yes' in Mexico, but better only for one day.

Juan Hernandez

It enhances the whole game experience to have a soccer-specific stadium. That's what we'll do.

Dave Checketts

I'm just a mom. I go to soccer games like everybody else, and I say what I think.

Karla Ray

It would be a good move to endorse the first African-American presiding officer and an Italian-Irish soccer mom from Great Neck. We're poster children for the New York State Democratic primary voters.

Lisanne Altmann

Parents seem to like soccer because it's 60 minutes. Little League is maybe two hours. Nowadays, you try to plan a schedule and soccer games in an hour is more convenient for the modern family.

Chris Macmillan

In soccer and other competitive sports that involve a lot of running, there is high risk for growth plate injuries and heel pain.

Robert Duggan

(Rhode Island has) a really good soccer program, and it's a really good school. It's a totally different area from where I am from, and it's right by the beach, so that's pretty cool. And as far as the size, Rhode Island seemed to be the perfect size for me.

Kristi Moltz

It's a neat thing just the way its evolved and the growth that the game has taken in trying to be a legitimate fundraiser. It's a very good effort to have a lasting memory of Connor, raise money for his scholarship funds, and it's a good thing for the soccer community.

John Bluem

The bottom line is that at no time did the team or Major League Soccer ever want to offend any members of the Houston community. We certainly apologize to those who feel wronged or insulted. We're listening to their concerns, and we're carefully analyzing the situation. We want everyone to be part of Major League Soccer in Houston.

Dan Courtemanche

We played a lot of soccer, and sometimes you get tired, but you still have to keep your head up.

Greg Prospero

They surprised us a little bit. We didn't adjust anything, we just got our heads back in the game and got back to playing the type of soccer we play.

Brandy Watts

We are fortunate once again to get one of the top soccer players in the state to choose Ole Miss as her home. Hannah is a special player and probably one of the best players in the Southeast. She has a chance to step in right away and make an impact. She is outstanding with her back to pressure, and her ability to read the game and score goals is exceptional.

Steve Holeman

It makes us the front runner in district, which is probably more important than the rivalry. The rivalry was for the fans, which was good for them. It was great for the atmosphere and for soccer.

Spikes Sturdivant

Most of us are in this more than just for playing soccer. We're in it for the bigger goal ? to move it along for the next generation.

Landon Donovan

Our players were not happy with the results from last year and the record was not indicative of the level of soccer they played. They have been working hard to do everything they can to correct that and a refuse to lose attitude is key entering this fall. They have the motivation to improve and don't want a repeat of what their record was last fall.

Shelley Smith

We are extremely grateful for the support and generosity of our donors and anticipate that these items will generate a lot of interest and excitement, ... Events like this help the Crew Soccer Foundation raise the money necessary to realize our vision and fulfill our mission.

Mark Mccullers

Our goal is to further strengthen the team and position the New York Red Bulls as the soccer metropolis of the East Coast.

Dietrich Mateschitz

It's a big loss to Vietnamese soccer, but we need to clean up our soccer.

Nguyen Trong Hy

I think it is an important award because no one can judge soccer better than the players themselves.

Ronaldinho

He's a great coach. He has turned this program around since he came here. He has made it into a top soccer program.

Jeff Rowland

Oliver Kahn will be in the ad because he belongs to the best soccer players in the world.

Jan Runau

It was more a rugby game than soccer. We have a long history with them, getting in little fights and stuff. It stems from last year.

Ryan Griffin

We played a little too defensive and didn't go after them. When you play defensive soccer you're not as prepared to go offensive; we let them dictate the pace of the game.

Mike Frazer

It took a basketball player to win a soccer game.

Byron Allen

The fact that it is given by people who understand soccer makes the award more valuable and will make the winner happier to receive it.

Ronaldinho

I started playing at 7 in a church league with boys. My dad and I knew nothing about soccer until I was 12. Then I joined a (lower-level) team. I remember me and my dad going out on my own.

Sophia Mundy

I like our chances right now. We just need to take it one game at a time. There is still a lot of soccer to be played.

Ken Fehr

There were some moments on the field when we looked pretty good. But overall, we didn't play 80 minutes of soccer.

Harold West

He's full of desire. Besides, his soccer depends more on technique than physique.

Manuel Pellegrini

If you are a soccer mom, you may not need to be able to send and receive e-mail from your wireless phone. If you are a soccer mom who is also a stockbroker, that might be something that is very useful to you.

Jim Barry

After having a two-goal lead, I think these guys got too comfortable. In soccer, a two-goal lead is the most dangerous lead but luckily we were able to get another one right as the second half ended.

Hugo Luna

Well, that is pretty subjective. It's not like they have seen us play or anything. The ranking is based on last year's championships in the Women's Premier Soccer League (WPSL) and the Women's Open Cup.

Shek Borkowski

Given the space, we've proven we can play soccer. I wonder if we can continue to play graceful soccer when we're under pressure. I think we'll be able to adjust.

John Gillies

Brie has personified St. Thomas soccer ever since she stepped on the field four years ago. She is a remarkable athlete and a joy to coach. I often say that even if Brie had not scored one goal, she would have been one of my favorite players.

Gary Finley

We had smart decision-making in the first half and played pretty soccer. We came out with confidence.

Marie Muhvic

Penn outplayed us physically, passionately and in the way you play soccer. They were able to ping the ball around, and we were chasing the ball around like a rabid dog looking for a loose bone.

Shawn Mccuen

The guys just continue to play good soccer and that is what is getting results for us. They are confident with each other out there and they always work hard for each other. Tonight we came out well and put a lot into the first half and we could have even been up by more than a goal. The players bring that energy right from the start every week.

Dominic Kinnear

Soccer is losing a pianist. He was always so at ease with the ball, his feet were like hands.

Luis Fernandez

Numbers have been an issue for a number of years. We have very large enrollments in boys' soccer and boys' cross country. And there are only 12 to 14 players in our top level of Pop Warner (youth football). There are not a lot of football players in our community.

Richard Hunt

I want to thank the organization and players for giving me the opportunity to be involved in soccer. I assure you that the team will do everything they can to succeed and represent Laredo well.

Israel Collazo

We've really battled through this. Now we have a change to build Soccer City USA.

Dave Checketts

I can't keep her off the field. We put her through a full training at practice. We're still playing some good soccer. I think in the end she's going to prove to be the difference.

Jay Gomez

But many of (our players) have not played at all before. The one young lady that we subbed in the second half is one of the 'hurricane girls' from Pass Christian, Mississippi. Until a few weeks ago, she had never touched a soccer ball.

Sandy Burwell

Fox Soccer Channel is pleased to partner with the NSCAA to showcase the nation's top college soccer teams for these exclusive telecasts. Collegiate soccer is a natural complement to our network's lineup of top international and domestic soccer events, and will help us attract new viewers from across the country.

David Sternberg

From that point we were in a tussle that was just great to watch, ... I just can't say enough about the job our guys did. Any soccer fan had to enjoy watching this game tonight.

Robert Cullen

He's just a good soccer player, ... He's been around for a long time. He knows where the ball should go, and he makes it happen. And I know that if I make a good run and get in the right position, he's going to find me.

Landon Donovan

They did not quit (after Prospect scored). I've seen Oak Park teams drop their heads when that happened in the past. They lifted each other up and rose to the challenge. That type of attitude will take them far in soccer and life.

Paul Wright

We all bonded really well as a team. We all had fun playing soccer together as a team. We worked hard and improved each year.

Shayna Turner

I just really enjoy kicking a football. Kicking a football is a little different than a soccer ball but I just enjoy it.

Mark Mooradian

All the other city teams are capable of beating us. The caliber of girls soccer in the city is pretty high. Everyone plays a good game.

John Devries

Bremen has played the best soccer this season and they didn't allow themselves to get distracted. It's an ironic twist of fate that Kahn, one of our best, makes this mistake.

Ottmar Hitzfeld

The technology isn't perfect yet. We have to be 1,000 percent certain that it works perfectly before we can deploy it in professional soccer games.

Jan Runau

I'm excited. We've seen some growth in the players from last year in their conditioning and commitment. The kids are starting to mature soccer-wise. We're looking to be competitive in every game.

Craig Cusson

They were crazy about it. It's like we were soccer stars in Italy. They would ask for autographs, and we'd go into a restaurant and they would spoil us, try to give us wine. So the spirit here is alive and kicking.

Cassie Campbell

Phil said he was happier than he's ever been about his soccer investment.

Tim Leiweke

It'll be the perfect ending to a perfect weekend, ... I'll get to spend the weekend with my family, share a bunch of stories, get emotional during the ceremony and top it off with some soccer.

Marcelo Balboa

We're losing players to soccer and lacrosse.

Johnny Bench

Toronto will be the focus of the international soccer world.

Kevan Pipe

We're trying to keep our kids focused. They have to remember the reason we're here is to play soccer.

Scott Carswell

We're playing better soccer as the year goes on. We had some classic goals where you switch directions, and the keeper can't be two places at once.

Dan Deforest

I'm very sad things didn't work out. I had nothing but fun and good things to say about the Bay Area since I got here. I hate to pick up and move. It's a great place for soccer.

Brian Mullan

That's soccer. We probably give up three cheap goals. If we don't, maybe we get out of here with a tie.

Matt Pfau

I told them I play soccer. I was ready to become a professional soccer player.

James Kamte

It is still too early in the season. The goals will come and the soccer will be better. We are still getting to know each other and even with that we are not playing badly.

Amado Guevara

We are a very good team and this loss doesn't mean we are not a good team. It will be interesting to see how we respond in training and how we play at Boston College next week. We will learn from this game, and it is still only September as there is a lot of soccer left.

Robbie Church

I feel kind of sorry for that young man as he received a black record in life for his behavior. It is common for soccer fans to light fireworks in celebration. Maybe he didn't expect police would take it so seriously this time.

Xu Feng

I enjoy playing soccer and it's also a good way to connect with students outside of the classroom.

Amy Smallwood

It's a major fundraiser for PGSA. It gives local youth the opportunity to play competitive soccer and learn sportsmanship.

Ivy Shelton

We're playing great soccer. We're right in the middle of the season, so this is a great time to build some momentum.

Jennifer Henderson

The countdown for the soccer World Cup has already started, and we are on track to achieve extraordinary results in 2006 and later.

Herbert Hainer

Not everybody can afford to play club soccer. But with just about every school in the Valley having middle school soccer it gives them up to three extra years of soccer as some schools allow sixth graders to play.

Omar Pedroza

The damage to the soccer field has to be fixed soon, but with the baseball field, we have several months to get it fixed.

Joe Gottfried

In soccer, the form of the encoded adjective is well-developed.

Julian Barnes

From what I can tell, it's a good deal for the city, where we can wind up with four soccer fields replacing one, for instance.

Bob Hurley

We have several reading programs going on at the same time so we limited this one to kindergarten, first and second grade. This is a special honor. When we were selected, the principals of the five schools in the program were invited to an FC Dallas game, and we got to go onto the soccer field and be introduced.

Betty King

We've taken a first step towards helping Portugal to move forward not only in soccer but also to achieve things in other areas of life.

Luiz Felipe Scolari

United for D.C. is excited to begin the third annual United Community Grants cycle. Last year alone, United for D.C. distributed almost $85,000 in grants to six local organizations, assisting established groups expand their urban soccer programming and helping new organizations create inner-city programs. We look forward to receiving another round of quality applications this cycle.

Catherine Marquette

I came here in 1997 just like anyone else, no matter if the person is a soccer player or whatever the profession; coming to the United States with the same idea and mission of improving my economic situation so that my family could be better off. Obviously I found and was given an opportunity by MLS. It's been quite an experience.

Ronald Cerritos

The MNST is made up of the best players in the country still playing amateur soccer. It's a great honor to have Hugh representing our campus.

Chris Watkins

Football really helped me. Even if it didn't help me technique-wise for soccer, it made me a better athlete.

Hansen Woodruff

This is the best way (my Porter soccer career could end). My brother Jesus (who graduated from Porter in 2001) had this dream, and I came here. And now I have this dream (to win state), and I'm one game away.

Diego Rodriguez

It's a challenge, especially with with soccer in the fall. That's two sports that require numbers.

Max Gillespie

Soccer should take note.

Dave Whelan

We still have nine games left, so this is just the beginning. We're still sitting in second place, so we'll just push forward and won't look back. I'm confident the girls can do that. They know it's just soccer and that it's a whole new game the next day.

Alane Burke

I just run the camps to teach kids soccer, give them some confidence out there. I just want them to succeed and through soccer, hopefully, I can reach them and help them become better people.

Kristine Lilly

It kind of reminds you of where the NFL was in 1960 when they were coming in and just starting to build facilities, ... Soccer is on the cusp of explosion in the U.S., and this will only help.

Paul Andrews

Bert and his wife, Iris, have been extraordinarily committed to the development of soccer at all levels in northeast Ohio, and his passion for the game, his unflinching dedication to community service and his pursuit of excellence in all his endeavors both professionally and personally will never be forgotten.

Don Garber

I wasn't too pleased with how we played after we scored. It's like we stopped supporting each other. It's disappointing, but it's just one game, and we have a lot of soccer left.

Dan Tobias

Kelly and Jena bring with them so many positives for our soccer program. They're talented soccer players with good experience. They will be ready to contribute right away. They fill needs for our team. They demonstrate great teamwork. They are positive people. And, in due time, they will be good leaders.

Rich Manning

I think it does. You know your own field. Soccer is not like football where there are 1,000 or 1,500 there. It's usually 200 or 300, maybe 400 or 500 if you have a good program.

Scooty Carey

There's a lot of other uses, we could have baseball diamonds, we could have soccer fields.

Vikki Wolff

The county is helping us build a little practice soccer field at First Street adjacent to the existing Little League Park [which is shared with Jersey City]. That will hopefully be completed by mid- to the latter part of April.

Chris Irizarry

He's pretty amazing because even though he doesn't practice, he's still able to come out here and do well. I don't mind that he doesn't practice because I know if he wasn't playing soccer that he would be out here with us. So I don't have a problem with it.

Chris Gilbert

We had great soccer at moments, but it was evident that we were pretty tired.

Chad Beadell

We were missing our attack tonight. We weren't holding the ball very long. It was like we were playing only two-thirds soccer.

Mike Rowan

The guys are playing an attractive, hard-nosed style of soccer and they deserve to get some wins. We can't let the element of doubt set in, and we need to play for and believe in each other without letting our egos get in the way in order to turn things around this season.

Mike O'malley

It's not really even looked at as violent or shooting, it's more about teamwork, like soccer or football.

Jason Lake

I've tied many games as a player. That's part of the game of soccer.

Jennifer Grubb

I guess you could say it's discouraging. There are a lot of great players in this country, and it's unfortunate that we only have 10 teams because if we had more players in the league, it would only help U.S. Soccer. ... It definitely is tough. Even being an All-American doesn't guarantee anything. You've got to play hard and the coach has got to like you - that's the bottom line.

Adolfo Gregorio

It's a simple game, soccer, and I try not to complicate it. If the ball beats the first man, then I've done my job and people have to do their job and get on the end of it. Fair credit to the lads up front today, they did well getting on the end of things. That was the big difference. We showed commitment getting on the end of things. It was a big difference from last week.

Terry Cooke

With all the activities we have here at the stadium, we will hit the one million mark this summer. With amateur baseball, professional baseball, soccer, antiques fairs, concerts and the like, we've seen significant attendance at the field. We'll be watching the count, and we expect to see our one millionth guest sometime in early July!

Ross Vecchio

Cross-country and soccer practice coincide. It's the nature of the beast.

Bill Kahn

I really wanted to play college soccer. I love everything about soccer. I've been playing it since I was little. It means everything to me.

Shayna Turner

Investments for new products and marketing for the soccer World Cup will have an effect on the profit margin.

Christian Schindler

He is a consistent and model coach. He has a great demeanor with the kids and he really knows his soccer.

Scott Donnelly

It's obviously connected to the USA soccer program. But you also get to see these 10-year-old kids who are reaching out to help people.

Jonny Walker

Natalie is another excellent athlete from the state of Indiana. Natalie has a bright future with the Hoosiers. Her strength in the midfield to distribute over distances and win tough battles with opponents will make her a competitor from day one. Natalie is a soccer junkie who loves to play soccer and compete. She is a fine addition to the 2006 class.

Mick Lyon

It's frustrating because the top schools inherit top talent and ours is homegrown. We were losing every match, 7-0 and 6-1, but little by little, I started pulling guys from soccer, from football. I recruited in my classes. I was just trying to get bodies out there.

Dan Castillo

I think the problem with soccer is that the girls are doing way too much. I think that if they are already playing with the national team, then they shouldn't have to or shouldn't be able to play on the other teams.

Charmaine Hooper

As well as ''playgrounds for football, baseball, soccer and kindred games, or any games that are in their nature hazardous, or require fenced enclosures or tend to draw together crowds of people.

Mark Ford

This was going to be 80 minutes of good soccer, what turned out to be a 100 (minutes). . . . We're preparing for the playoffs, and this is good for us.

Bob Capener

I've had the chance to watch Hilary develop for the past six or seven years and I am proud to have her as a part of this program. She has great hands and I think the combination of hockey and soccer helped with her development of the game. She has off the ball awareness and is a very finesse player. She will look to come in and play for us in the midfield and up front.

Jennifer Averill

He was so smooth, and, obviously, he was leaving everybody in the dust. At soccer, he was good, but not great.

Jon Davidson

The club is great, the fans are fantastic and it is just wonderful to be part of a competition that has taken off. Australian soccer has been waiting a long time for something so good.

Archie Thompson

It's fair that the sport is stopped ... there are more important things than soccer.

Gianfranco Zola

No matter what field you are successful in, you won't be popular. People get jealous of your success. It is just like in the German Soccer League with Bayern Munich. No one wants them to become the German champion again and everyone is against them. You don't hate them, but you don't want them to win.

Daniel Schellhase

If we have a child interested in collecting leaves or rocks or taking pictures of plants or flowers, we'd certainly like to take the time to escort them and even do a few cool experiments. We've got a great soccer field where you can see every star in the sky, if a child is interested in the planets. And I'd love to learn from the kids, if they knew something I didn't know.

Brad Thompson

Without his influence, I would not be a school teacher or soccer coach. He had a tremendous impact on my life.

Adrian Wilson

Hopefully that's a big confidence booster [for Tillotson]. She's playing some of the best soccer of her career, but the goals just haven't been there yet. We need her and we need her to score goals.

Jennifer Rockwood

I think, fortunately, some of the mania has died down for him. That can help all parties. It takes a little of the pressure off him. The expectations coming in for him were unrealistic. The people who don't have any knowledge about soccer thought he'd come in and score 15 goals a season and be the best player in the league. It doesn't happen like that. It's a process.

Ben Olsen

The government must investigate the allegations of corruption and eliminate the scourge in Chinese soccer. If they don't then it will kill football in China and all the efforts we are making ... will go to naught.

Peter Velappan

He's a great student, a concert pianist, takes jazz lessons, and has dealt with family challenges. He's very motivated in all he does. If you show him a new soccer skill, he'll disappear for an hour with a ball until he can do it. He's a self-starter that gets a lot done in a day.

Dave Woolley

I think I bring a different perspective because I've been in their seats, I know exactly what they're going through. It was only five or six years ago I was experiencing the same exact things they're experiencing, certainly from a soccer perspective, but also the challenges of schoolwork and social life, and everything that goes into being at Penn.

Mike O'connor

I'm now committed to being a part of the progress for U.S. Soccer going forward, ... We can look back at this day as the new beginning of 'Remember Whens.'

Tab Ramos

Obviously, you're going to miss the school play. My daughter scored her first goal in soccer, which you know, if you miss that, it pulls at your heart strings. The upside is we have an extraordinary life.

Richie Sambora

I want to help make this experience for all the other people on the team and help them enjoy the game of soccer. It's supposed to be fun. You're supposed to have a good time playing.

Sarah Winslow

We got everyone a lot of playing time and it was a marathon. Soccer-wise, it was not as productive as I would like it to be in the goal-scoring department.

Susan Peel

I think this is just the beginning for baseball. If they keep doing this, the game will get bigger and better, and maybe even bigger than soccer.

Chairon Isenia

The classes will be a lot harder. It will be more challenging because soccer is more involved.

Megan Hill

Our goal is to be competitive. If you can hang with them, you can be competitive. All of them are winnable if we play soccer that we know how to play.

Corrie Adams

Often [our non-native Spanish-speaking listeners] are nervous about being on the air, worried that they might make a mistake. But we receive plenty of e-mails from English-speaking soccer fans who listen to us regularly.

Jorge Ramos

But the thing the coaches can't ignore is she's so talented with her feet. That's the great thing about soccer, it takes all shapes and sizes.

Dave Todd

People forget now, but these stadiums ... were built to handle baseball, football, concerts, soccer. They were multipurpose stadiums.

Mike Shannon

The tactics and formations are very similar to soccer.

Bill Hander

Surfing helps me with soccer and life. It's a good relief where I can go chill. I don't have to worry about school or soccer.

Drew Delis

Soccer has never really run my life.

Brian Mcbride

I get pretty angry that a man in his position can make statements like this. It's sad. We're dealing with a good soccer player, but a very unskilled leader and careless man.

Lennart Johansson

We weren't playing a real controlled soccer game in the first half. The wind was really blowing hard, but both teams had those conditions.

Jennifer Henderson

We are ecstatic to finally be able to announce the date of our Grand Opening game at our new stadium in Bridgeview. We know there has been much speculation and great anticipation in the community about this date, and we are thrilled that every soccer fan can now circle June 25 in their calendar.

John Guppy

At this point in the season, it's the second half of conference play. The good thing about our group is we're motivated, we're playing good soccer, we've been shutting teams down and, like we've been doing all season, we're creating good chances.

Dan Tobias

This year the tournament will be held in memory of a longtime mentor and soccer coach, Bill Herbst.

Greg Stone

We are so grateful to all of you here today. Katherine would have loved to see all of you girls out here playing soccer like this. Thank you so much for all you have done this week.

Anne Wilson Schaef

It would get Brady away from football and me away from soccer, so it was one of those things we'd do as a family with my dad and stuff.

Kelly Quinn

I'm a soccer fan, so I'll be watching to see what's going on around the league. But I'm not going to put too much focus on that. We can't control what Dallas or Colorado does. Now we've got to sit patiently and wait our turn.

Herculez Gomez

I'm excited to return to U.S. Soccer as the Under-20 men's head coach. My previous experience was very rewarding as we put together a fantastic run during the 2003 FIFA World Youth Championship. I am looking forward to building on that experience and to having the chance to continue the growth of U.S. Soccer.

Thomas Rongen

Sexuality is like any other activity. There are people for whom skydiving, chocolate cake and soccer are their world. But some people don't like skydiving, chocolate cake or soccer. There's no reason to focus your energy and attention on something you feel no reason to do anything about.

David Jay

We do not want to see them because we never voted for them. On the election day we were playing soccer and some of us spent time with our families.

Paul Ncwane

Who says he can't do that? The money was given to him to run the soccer team at his discretion. Now did they make a mistake? Yes.

Jere Reneer

He's also a former soccer player who was interested in kicking for us. Then during the summer, he asked to run a few routes -- and he's obviously fast. He looked good.

Pat Murray

I want to say a big thank you to everyone who came to the game on Saturday and contributed to Grassroot. Grassroot Soccer will benefit by over $7,500, which is a terrific response from the Notre Dame community.

Bobby Clark

We don't have any girls soccer banners hanging in our gym, so it's great to finally get one.

Jackie Sullivan

I'm trying to figure out what high school soccer is like.

Ryan Lawrence

I think he's starting to play some of the best soccer of his career.

Jim Huntington

For all of us, it's been 10 or 15 years since we haven't had soccer every day, ... So we run into each other on campus, and we're like, 'what are we doing right now?'

Shannon Cross

My father was a soccer player. All my friends played basketball though, so I stuck with basketball.

Steve Nash

One of the biggest things that people say is that kids love football, they love baseball, they love soccer, they love basketball, but put a hockey stick in their hands and we'll find out where their true love is.

Larry Macdonald

I thought defensively, at times, we got exposed. Far from perfect, and we've still got a long way to go to be playing perfect soccer.
