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

After the '96 Olympics, we all started believing that this is bigger than we thought, and we were willing to do the work. We knew that it was up to us, the players, to make soccer successful.
Brandi Chastain

And of course in America you've got American football and baseball and all those other ball games, soccer has become a little niche that the women have kind of filled.
Parminder Nagra

But I think it's also hard to get into soccer here. I think purely on a time level on television as well because of the ad breaks. It's something to do with that as well. You can't show a complete soccer match here. Which I kind of find a bit of an odd thing.
Parminder Nagra

By analogy, if we were to develop a soccer team, then we would not invite basketball and volleyball players to the try outs. We would invite soccer players to apply.
Jean-Marie Le Pen

Football (soccer) is a matter of life and death, except more important.
Bill Shankly

Getting a chance to practice six months against my own teammates, who I consider the best soccer players in the world, there's no way I couldn't improve.
Lorrie Fair

I don't pay attention to target audiences and therefore I often hear that I am a ratings killer, somebody who fundamentally doesn't care whether one person is watching or an entire soccer stadium.
Alexander Kluge

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.
Lamar Hunt

I have a 16 year-old son, so I'm now a soccer mom. I stand on the sidelines and I hear the things parents are saying, so I want them to understand what it is their kids are feeling in any sports environment.
Brandi Chastain

I love being an older comic now. It's like being an old soccer or an old baseball player. You're in the Hall of Fame and it's nice, but you're no longer that person in the limelight on the spot doing that thing.
Eric Idle

I love soccer; I want to be on the field.
Brandi Chastain

I love soccer. That's all I ever watch. I'll watch it all day if I can. But I'm too bloody old to play now.
Geezer Butler

I manage a team, for beach soccer. I'm the coach. Player, coach.
Eric Cantona

I played at the Sainte Maxime Beach Soccer Tournament, which was brilliant fun as usual.
David Ginola

I played English football - soccer - instead of American football, because we couldn't afford the equipment.
Wally Schirra

I suppose young people think football is glamorous - soccer - it's big money and the stars of it, they look good and have a great big house and a huge Ferrari.
Bryan Ferry

I think foosball is a combination of soccer and shish kabobs.
Mitch Hedberg

I think one of the political problems we have in this country is the perspective that all soccer moms think alike, all African-Americans think alike.
Anne Northup

I think soccer is more respected now than it ever has been. You can see that in the numbers of young kids who are playing and the numbers of people who are coming to watch.
