I think the most important thing is to be accessible to the fans and be yourself,
Given what Brandi has done for this sport for the last 17 years, I feel like she's earned the right to at least be given a look. I think this is a big mistake.
I got underneath the sheets to go to sleep, ... and there's a 'W sign. Oh well. Cat's a minister's daughter. And she's from the south.
If we could only clone her, we'd be winners forever. It makes you shake your head about how she can continue to do what she has done for so many years.
She hasn't gotten the recognition that she's deserved for what she's given to this sport. She has been the foundation of our team for so long.
She (Finch) is a wonderful person, and they want to see that. They want to interact with her and talk with her.
She started in the Olympic final, and I know I'm biased, but I think she came into that tournament and was an incredibly valuable defender who brought a presence to the back line. People are going to differ on how they see players, but many of my ex-teammates and I think she's extremely valuable.
It wasn't just that we were together; we were truly a family. There was always laughter.

My teammates are the ultimate motivation. They mean everything to me. They are the reason I want to be at my best.
When people tell you, "No," just smile and tell them, "Yes, I can."
Soccer was invented by man but perfected by women.
We don't wear cups. We win them!
I don't care how talented a team is, unless you believe in one another, you're weak.
