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.
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.
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.
sports team player
The situation was, the team I was on when I got injured went down to the lower leagues. In America, they don't have that relegation, so when the team went down to the lower region, every player has his value, and they went off and sold any player who had value.
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.
against believe believing deserved difficult game good kept played road team
We played a good game and we deserved a point. We kept believing 'til the end, we played well defensively on the road against a difficult and good team and we got a point.
ahead europe future near team
He's got a big future ahead in Europe no doubt. And he's going to be a big part of this team not only in the near future but for many years to come.
game
Sometimes we're the big game in town. Other times, we're just kind of a sideshow.
cap earn guys played role tomorrow
said Reyna, who'll earn his 108th cap tomorrow night. ''I've played with at least three-quarters of the guys before. And it's the same role as always.
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.
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.
fight mexico
Mexico is different of all our games, this is the one where you most want to be on the field, ... You fight even to be on the bench.
beat bit consistent dominated five insulting last six soccer time
For such a long time they dominated us, but over not only the last five or six years, but the last 10 years, it's been pretty equal. I think it's a bit insulting to them because soccer is the one and only sport in this country, and for us to beat them on a consistent basis, it's probably something they don't like.
cleared doctor europe goes guys happy heals hopefully leading luckily nightmare problem seeing worst
Luckily the doctor is one of the leading guys in Europe and I'm happy to be seeing him and getting the problem cleared up. It's a player's worst nightmare really. Hopefully it heals and everything goes to plan.
