previous one was in Sharm El Shaikh, Egypt.

40. Quotes #1

2. It's just a job. Grass grows, birds fly, waves pound the sand. I
beat people up
3. In the end, it’s extra effort that separates a winner from
second place. But winning takes a lot more that, too. It starts
with complete command of the fundamentals. Then it takes
desire, determination, discipline, and self-sacrifice. And finally,
it takes a great deal of love, fairness and respect for your
fellow man. Put all these together, and even if you don’t win,
how can you lose?
4. Whoever said, 'It's not whether you win or lose that counts,'
probably lost.
41. Quotes #2
5. Sportsmanship for me is when a guy walks off the court and
you really can't tell whether he won or lost, when he carries
himself with pride either way
6. Football is a simple game; 22 men chase a ball for 90 minutes
and at the end, the Germans win
7. Some people believe football is a matter of life and death. I'm
very disappointed with that attitude. I can assure you it is
much, much more important than that.
8. Ask not what your teammates can do for you. Ask what you
can do for your teammates.
42. Quotes #3

of practice and the coaches who have pushed you is a little

with hope in his heart and dreams in his head.

cars. The rest I just squandered
