team moving athlete
The contracts are structured different than athletes in America, but for me, it was good to move on and go back to playing in the premiere league, which is the best league. It was disappointing, as far as the team goes, but for me, there wasn't much I could do.
american-athlete boys continuing picking
I think there are also a lot of kids, boys and girls, who are picking up the sport, and we're continuing to get better and better as the years go on.
american-athlete cup far few judge national past people steps teams
We've made some big steps over the past few years, but the World Cup is when people judge the national teams and how far they are.
american-athlete best came case chance injury knee level sideline
I was on the sideline with a knee injury and when I came back, I wanted to play at the best level I could. And that's the case for a lot of players, they want the chance to play against the best competition.
american-athlete challenge cool fans forward fun good hear home looking trying xbox younger
I hear good things about Xbox Live from some of my younger teammates. I think it would be fun to be able to challenge fans all over the world. It would be cool to be able to play some of my friends back home in the States. I'm looking forward to trying it.
american-athlete beat countries crazy last lose pressure soccer
Countries that are crazy about soccer the last thing they want to do is lose to the U.S. There is a lot more pressure on them to beat us.
country team unique
It's a unique situation as well because England is a small country, so it makes it easy for the fans to travel. If we play down in London, they get buses and we'll get three or four thousand fans come down. They'll all sit in the same area and show their support for the team.
kids thinking should
I think kids should be doing pickup or futsal all the time,
player winning trophies
We care about how many players you develop rather than how many trophies you win.
soccer player levels
Sure we have skilled players, but the biggest thing might just be that we are so well conditioned and how we can play for 90 minutes at a high tempo which is needed in soccer at an international level.
soccer strong team
I think we have a good team, but soccer fans will know that we're in a really tough group. The three teams in our group are really strong. The Czech Republic is a very good team, Italy is traditionally a powerhouse, and Ghana is one of the best teams in Africa.
soccer country thinking
Over the last 10-15 years, you've seen soccer finally start to grow at a fast pace, start to get the recognition it deserves, and I think it has to do with all of the people who come to America from foreign countries.
soccer games mirrors
When I see myself in the videogame it's amazing how realistic I look. This is the most authentic and realistic soccer game I have ever seen. It is like I'm looking in a mirror. The attention to detail is incredible.
soccer sports play
The more people who come from abroad who played soccer and are brought up playing it and watching it, then come over to America and bring what they know and what they play, that's how the sport will grow.
