“You never know if you can actually do something against all odds until you actually do it.”

You can do as many sprints as you want but there’s nothing like playing in a 90-minute soccer game. There’s no better way to gain your fitness, in my opinion, than playing in consistent games.

I’m not going to tell people how to live their life and I surely wouldn’t tell people my life is the way you should be living. People get to choose what they do want to do with their life and I appreciated that.

I’ve never scored a goal in my life without getting a pass from someone else.

This might sound masochistic or narcissistic‚ I don’t know‚ but when I’m not playing the game‚ the validations I feel about life are always through the hardships. I relate more to sadness‚ in a lot of ways‚ when I’m not playing.

Playing on turf affects everything, you know, it affects the way the ball rolls, it affects the way the ball bounces, it affects the way you think about whether or not going into a slide. It’s kind of a nightmare.

To watch people push themselves further than they think they can, it’s a beautiful thing. It’s really human.

It’s not pressure. It’s responsibility We put it on ourselves.

No I or individual is better than the team. I’ve scored no goals just on my own. Every goal I’ve ever scored has been because of someone else on my team, their excellence, their bravery.

And I’m kind of the end product of a collection of a really good vibe, and feeling, and creativity on the field.

It’s always really challenging trying to go from player to player/coach. You have a kind of friendship basis of relationship with all of your teammates and now you go to this power position where you have to make decisions that might hurt people’s feelings.

If we can trust each other and leave everything-all our hearts-out on the field, I think we’re going to have something to come home to and cheer about.

Today was about execution, period. Every single player, all of us in the dressing room right now, we’re embarrassed because that’s not the way we want to play soccer.

I don’t care who scores the goals, I’m going to leave my human beingness on the field!

You must not only have competitiveness but ability, regardless of the circumstance you face, to never quit

If given a really great chance, I’m going to put it away every single time.

Four goals in (16) minutes. Literally I don’t even know how that happens especially in a World Cup final.

I actually went to university.

I spent so much time focusing on haters that I forgot about the people that actually love me. And that’s who I’m focused on this time around: the people that want to listen. The people that don’t want to listen, don’t listen. This is for the people that want to.

This transcends any kind of religion and any kind of belief. This is actually an offense and attack on human values. He’s just saying out there I will shoot people in the face and people wouldn’t care.

Do not miss the opportunity of offering even a single drop into the ocean of merit or a grain atop the mountain of the roots of beneficial activity.

Official truth is not actual truth.

I must be very close to what I had to learn to move from fooling around with writing to actually producing professional stories.

Men used the music to get the girls in the mood to make love. So either way you had it, Barry White is the one artist who actually was in your bedroom with you at your most sacred, sensuous moment of your life.

That’s not an accident that Donald Trump didn’t begin with, say, trade or jobs or anything, that he actually began by otherizing the first African-American president of the United States.
