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.
american-athlete boys continuing picking
I think there are also a lot of kids, boys and girls, who are picking up the sport, and we're continuing to get better and better as the years go on.
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.
kids thinking should
I think kids should be doing pickup or futsal all the time,
player winning trophies
We care about how many players you develop rather than how many trophies you win.
soccer player levels
Sure we have skilled players, but the biggest thing might just be that we are so well conditioned and how we can play for 90 minutes at a high tempo which is needed in soccer at an international level.
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.
soccer country thinking
Over the last 10-15 years, you've seen soccer finally start to grow at a fast pace, start to get the recognition it deserves, and I think it has to do with all of the people who come to America from foreign countries.
soccer games mirrors
When I see myself in the videogame it's amazing how realistic I look. This is the most authentic and realistic soccer game I have ever seen. It is like I'm looking in a mirror. The attention to detail is incredible.
soccer sports play
The more people who come from abroad who played soccer and are brought up playing it and watching it, then come over to America and bring what they know and what they play, that's how the sport will grow.
basketball soccer sports
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.
moving winning player
It's possible at any time during a player's career to get into top physical shape or to try to win every game! But you can't teach skills to an old player. Youth coaches should keep in mind that individual skills need to be nurtured at an early age. Players who haven't mastered the fundamental skills become frustrated because the game gets too difficult for them as they move into higher levels.
sports strong player
EA SPORTS has a strong partnership with adidas and through this relationship they approached adidas about using some of their top players from around the world.
sports country crazy
We're a crazy country about sports, but for the longest time, only followed our own sports.
