Bruce Arena Others Quotations

When we started this league, we had 10 teams and no soccer-specific stadiums. Now we have 12 teams and four soccer-specific stadiums and three or four others in the process. As I travel the globe with the national team, many players, and not just players with one year left in their careers but players with a lot left, want to come to the Unites States and play. Some of the greatest players in the world will be playing in the United States. I really believe that.

Josh knows that's an area he's got to get better in. He was very active in the first half and part of a lot of good plays. However, he was also part of a lot of others where he could have made a better pass or done something better.

The thing we wanted to accomplish with these games on Sunday and Monday (was) to give a number of players 90 minutes for the first time in a long time.

I don't think too many players played themselves onto a World Cup roster tonight. There were some good performances for some, others were not so good.

I don't think too many players played themselves on our World Cup roster tonight. There were some solid performances, but nothing that would make a strong case for a variety of players. It was okay for some players, others not too good.
