Claudio Reyna Athlete Quotations

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.

I was on the sideline with a knee injury and when I came back, I wanted to play at the best level I could. And that's the case for a lot of players, they want the chance to play against the best competition.

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.

The contracts are structured different than athletes in America, but for me, it was good to move on and go back to playing in the premiere league, which is the best league. It was disappointing, as far as the team goes, but for me, there wasn't much I could do.

Countries that are crazy about soccer the last thing they want to do is lose to the U.S. There is a lot more pressure on them to beat us.

I hear good things about Xbox Live from some of my younger teammates. I think it would be fun to be able to challenge fans all over the world. It would be cool to be able to play some of my friends back home in the States. I'm looking forward to trying it.
