I think there are a lot of things that soccer does in the communities that transcend the soccer field.
Brandi Chastain

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.
Claudio Reyna

I think we have our sports within our own culture that are huge with baseball, football, basketball, and hockey. Those are the sports in America that we grow up with and soccer isn't really there yet.
Claudio Reyna

I want to be involved in soccer some way.
Brian McBride

I was a keen sportsman, and became school captain in soccer and cricket.
John E. Walker

I was a part of Backyard Soccer, and I hear that I score a lot of goals in it.
Brandi Chastain

I was on Oprah's show recently talking about the people who impacted me the most. One was a teacher and one was my soccer coach. I didn't even go into my family, who had the most influence.
Andrew Shue

I was the kid who always liked to take the ball down to the school even in my free time, kick it against the wall, juggle it in the front yard and so it was kind of a perpetual state of playing soccer for me.
Brandi Chastain

I went to professional men's soccer games, the old North American soccer league at that time, and I used to be a ticket holder with my family and family friends. We would go every weekend and I thought it was great, but I just thought of it as recreation, as family fun.
Brandi Chastain

I'm a rock star because I couldn't be a soccer star.
Rod Stewart

If God had wanted man to play soccer, he wouldn't have given us arms.
Mike Ditka

If my soccer career were over, I would still come here because of the people. And despite the fact I've had to skip some school for National Team purposes, I am looking forward to holding that Carolina degree as soon as I can get my hands on it.
Lorrie Fair

In Europe, it's different - you eat soccer, you breathe soccer, you drink soccer. Everything is about soccer.
Thomas Dooley

In terms of soccer, it wasn't really a thing that girls did. In England it more kind of Net Ball and Hockey and stuff like that in athletics. It's to each their own, really.
Parminder Nagra

It really came down to deciding between baseball and soccer. Soccer won out because I enjoyed it more.
Brian McBride

Kung fu and soccer are the two things that I was most interested in as a child.
Stephen Chow

Liberal soccer moms are precisely as likely to receive anthrax in the mail as to develop a capacity for linear thinking.
Ann Coulter

Like most people I can be lazy, so it's nice to have a goal or deadline or reason to work out. I feel better when I get to exercise, or when I'm outdoors. I like to hike, swim and run, and I love to play soccer.
Viggo Mortensen

Michael Sanchez and I grew up in New Jersey, not far from here, playing soccer together. When I was in high school, I worked to start an organization to help senior citizens, which I learned a great deal from.
Andrew Shue

My background playing soccer gave me a natural advantage over many of the American-born players.
