Due to the NFL lockout, I'm excited to be able to follow my childhood dream of playing for a Major League Soccer team.
Soccer is popular because stupidity is popular.
A combination of acting, lying, begging, and cheating.
I get asked this a lot: Why has soccer not succeeded? My answer is, soccer has succeeded. It is already the fastest growing youth participation sport in the U. S. It has already succeeded at the youth level, no question.
A champion is someone who does not settle for that day's practice, that day's competition, that day's performance. They are always striving to be better. They don't live in the past.
You look at boxing being an international, world-famous sport, right up there next with soccer, and there's only two fighters the people want to see fight. Two little fellows, Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather.
We're definitely going to get Brooklyn christened, but we don't know into which religion.
When I score I don't celebrate, its my job, does a postman celebrate when he delivers post?
I had said I didn't mind which shirt I played in, but coming from Diego, № 10 is very special.
My platform might be a little bigger than someone else's, but everyone has a purpose. For me, that purpose in my life right now is soccer. There's a cool, personal testimony that goes along with it.
I was a pretty good soccer player, but it just wasn't for me. I thrive in the intensified atmosphere on a football field.
There's nobody fitter at his age, except maybe Raquel Welch.
There is something to be said for waking up every morning and seeing the sun.
If TV were only an invention to broadcast soccer, it would be justified.
I grew up on North American sports teams as well as English soccer clubs.
Fortunately for me, its my most favorite drill, and that is finishing. However, from a young age, soccer players in this country are not taught how to properly finish, and I think you see that through the professional ranks, that we dont have that killer instinct of the forwards from other countries.
I think you and the referee were in a minority of one, Billy.
The Spaniards have been reduced to aiming aimless balls into the box.
I'll admit, right away, that I am disappointed that we did not have a major trophy to show for our efforts. We were in four and we had a good side, but when you count second place as failure, then standards are becoming fantastically high. We never celebrate second place here.
There's more chance of me flying Concorde to the moon blindfolded than there is of you taking Wales to the World Cup.
