I enjoyed the position I was in as a tennis player. I was to blame when I lost. I was to blame when I won. And I really like that, because I played soccer a lot too, and I couldn't stand it when I had to blame it on the goalkeeper. Roger Federer
Hakeem Olajuwon quote: "My background playing soccer gave me a natural advantage over..."
My background playing soccer gave me a natural advantage over many of the American-born players. Hakeem Olajuwon
After the '96 Olympics, we all started believing that this is bigger than we thought, and we were willing to do the work. We knew that it was up to us, the players, to make soccer successful. Brandi Chastain
