Absolute Quotes

It was a strain. He didn't have anything on his scans, and last week, we really could have played him. He trained last week as you all would have seen, and it was just precaution that we didn't play him, which almost helps this week because you know that he'll go into the game with the right frame of mind,

Drawn Quotes
The U.S. military is reluctant to be drawn into a counterinsurgency war. They don't think it's possible to say you're going to go down there and help the Colombian military shoot drug traffickers without shooting at the FARC, and that makes them very nervous. It's a rebellion that's been going on for some 40 years, and it's plainly not going to come to an end soon -- the Pentagon fears it's a whirlpool that's going to suck them in.

Chances Quotes
(You can) use it for the rest of your life, basically. It's a game they could have won. Last year, we played a preliminary final and it was very tight and we had chances to win that if we'd handled that better.
