Fifa Quotations
Fifa Quotes from:
-
British Quotes
We have always been strongly opposed to anything that would threaten the separate identities of the British football associations and that has not and will not change. The present set-up has been around, in our case, since 1873 and we have separate privileges within FIFA and UEFA. From a football perspective, that is more important than participation in an Olympic Games.

Bank Quotes
We sent the relevant documents as they relate to bank information and all that of the vendor to the FIFA. And as you know, FIFA doesn't pay the federation this money and then expect the federation to pay whoever, so we have sent off the relevant information to FIFA for the vendor to get paid.

Aware Quotes
We were a little bit surprised at the context of the letter, where it speaks to FIFA not being aware of what was happening, and I am a little bit disappointed because the FIFA development officer came here sometime in September and visited the site and was quite pleased to the extent that at a press conference the morning before he departed, he explained to the nation via the media that he was quite pleased that everything was on target.

Against Quotes
We wouldn't raise any objections to what Freddy wants to do. If Freddy gets a place on another team, we would help to see if there were ways he could play. My understanding of the rule -- and I sit on the FIFA Dispute Resolution Chamber that interprets those rules -- is that he can't play competitive games until he's 18 years old. The rule is designed to protect young kids against exploitation. I don't know whether FIFA wants to decide to make an exception. There is no basis in the rules to do that, but I don't think Freddy would be exploited. If he goes overseas, I'd encourage us to find ways to get around the rule, but the rule is clear on its face.

Against Quotes
The naming of this 23-man roster is the end of a long and arduous process. Today, a new journey begins as we start final preparations for the 2006 FIFA World Cup. As usual, we will not make any bold statements or predictions. However, I can assure everyone that the team that steps on the field on June 12 against the Czech Republic will be a team that all Americans will be proud of.

Agree Quotes
The monies that we got from FIFA had to do with specifically with the damage that was done by the hurricane and that was rectified. The interior of the building was completely painted, but I agree that outside needs some work and we are working on it as we speak. We have spoken to Sherwin Williams who is willing to donate the paints, and in a short period the outside will be taken care of.

Absolutely Quotes
It is therefore absolutely logical for FIFA, the governing body of football, to extend its reach into beach soccer and we look forward to bringing all of the knowledge and expertise that FIFA has to improving beach soccer, whilst being careful to preserve the sense of spontaneity and fun that are essential to the sport.

Ajax Quotes
Ajax was probably a little surprised by the level. It was another level for sure. We're definitely playing a higher-ranked (opponent) in this FIFA team. We're looking a little bit up in some areas. Canada is very physical. It's amazing what improvements they've made in physical conditioning. It's a hard style to match. It's like a boxing match and there's 20 pounds we're giving up.
