Tony Meola Quotations

We're going to find out Sunday night if we deserve to be in the playoffs. It's not a sprint here. We've had all year and if you deserve to be in the playoffs in this league, you're going to be. There's no mistakes over 32 games.

Ultimately, everyone who opens up a Red Bull in this area is going to figure out they're associated with a soccer team.

We did come out a little flat - and they came out on fire,

I have cherished each and every opportunity I have had to play for my country and I will certainly cherish this one as well.

I feel personally like I failed in my mission here. After speaking to a bunch of guys on the team I think that's the sentiment. We failed a good guy and a good coach. He asked us to take this and use it however we can to get better, to get closer as a tam and to get more determined.

He held his own out there. He wore down toward the end, which is to be expected, but he was solid.

We took the bus over here and I got kicked out of the stadium. I would have done anything to see him train.

I think every week we've grown and I think we have a better understanding of each other. It's still a new team. My expectations at the start are like everyone else's in the league, and that's to try to win a championship.

I said it the other day, he's the Muhammad Ali of our sport. He's a name that you can mention anywhere in the world and everyone knows who he is.

I'm so happy for Michael Bradley and the Bradley family.

We dominated for 70 minutes and they dominated the rest. It would have been nice to get the three points and put pressure on Kansas City, but they still have a tough road so it's not over. We have to go to D.C. and get three points and forget about this.

When I got here I never thought we'd be at this point,

There hasn't ever been a time that I've said that it is time to stop, even when I was injured and I wondered if my career might be over. When I feel I can't contribute to the team anymore I'll be the first to step aside and say enough is enough.

We've got to get points out of this, ... Just like the playoffs, if you play at home first, you've got to win. That's the way we have to look at it. We had a great week of training, I thought. A really hard week, especially in the beginning of the week. It seems like forever since we played a game and I think everyone's ready.

We just tied the best team in the league. They have five guys who are fighting for a World Cup spot and have a heck of a lot to play for.

You feel so far away from the ball. What are you going to do?

Washington Mutual and JDC share a commitment to address the financial needs of consumers and small-business owners of diverse ethnic backgrounds, as well as those in the low- to moderate-income population. Together, I know that we will develop long-term relationships that will bring new opportunity and positive change to our communities.

We are going to focus even more attention on the high-growth markets where we can gain additional leverage from the company's overall branding efforts. We plan to fuel significant new growth in our retail mortgage operations by re-directing resources to our most productive and profitable activities.

Bob said in the beginning of the week we have three games in a row. The only way to keep this thing going is to get nine points.

They're a tough team to deal with when they're throwing numbers at you. We could have handled the pressure a little better, but coming away with a point is better than coming away with none.

That's reinforcing the fact that something has changed. Owners are now refinancing with rates not being the main driver.

I want to be part of something big again with the national team. I fought back this far, there's no reason not to keep going.

I love that I've been part of the growth, and I know it was a small part, but every bit mattered in our sport. I love the game.

I had a good time while I was here. I love it here and my family is here. I certainly have no hard feelings about anybody in Kansas City. The city is great and it's fun to come back.

He's the Mohammed Ali of our sport. He's one of very few guys whose name is known no matter where you go.

He (Arena) knows it's a process and the guys know it's a process. It's hard to think you'd go into a game and just be lax about it.

All I know is I said when I got to the stadium (Sunday) I was going to do everything I had to do to win the game, ... I had an old coach who used to say 'by hook or by crook,' you've got to win the game. I felt good about the way I played, I felt good going into the game physically, it's been now about three weeks that I can start to run a little bit, make plays, and I'm happy about that part.

The last three weeks have been a whirlwind for all of us. We're just happy to get past the first game and next time, we'll get a win. We've played two games and we haven't been beaten, but we could have gotten one tonight, because we deserved it.
