“The league, I think, is doing well. It's growing, it's maturing, and it's becoming a better league.”

“We didn't think we were a fourth-place team. For us to beat the first-place team in the West and the first-place team in the East shows the dedication and determination that we had.”

“After I suffered a labral tear in my hip while playing soccer, I realized that many sports-related injuries can be prevented and I dedicated myself to helping young athletes learn more about injury prevention.”

“I never thought I'd play soccer past high school, so to go from that team to actually being most-capped and three World Cups is pretty special.”

“We are still confident as a team that we will make it through to the final Cup qualifying round.”

“Being out in that heat for two weeks definitely drains your energy.”

“The people I still talk to are some of the old Galaxy players all over the place. That's a bond that's pretty special.”

“It just proves that I've been here for a long time and, I guess, have done the right things over the years.”

“I think the Commissioner is taking the steps necessary to give the game back to the players and the fans and hopefully take the league to the next level.”

“There's no need to overwhelm yourself with thoughts, because you know that you're just as good or better than some of the players you're going up against.”

“You are going to have hostile crowds and the fans are going to find out where you are staying and keep you awake at night. They are going to use everything possible.”

“You want to teach the next generation so they can learn a little bit faster and a little bit more so everything becomes that much better.”

“I know a lot of people didn't understand why I came back, and people are still going to say it was stupid and it was the wrong decision. But I'm happy.”

“I like the guys on the team and the coaching here. I especially like the management. The Galaxy have been really good to me.”

“I am a kid from the '70s, when video games first started coming out, so I definitely have to say I am a video game junkie to this day.”

“As a player, I was fortunate to work with coaching and medical staffs that underscored the importance of utilizing injury prevention exercises, which contributed to my healthy and long playing career.”

“I turned 24 in the middle of my first World Cup and it was quite an unbelievable experience. It's really hard for words to do it justice.”

“I am both honored and blessed to have had such a wonderful career with the L.A. Galaxy and I am thankful for everything the club, the fans and the community has done for me and my family.”

“I've been working on my finishing for quite some time. It's just a question of paying attention to the minor details.”

“The referee will now keep track of the time on the field and the shootouts have finally been banned.”
