With 99 wins we ordsprog

With 99 wins we should get a little respect, a little love, ... But honestly, I kind of like [not getting any]. I was with a team a couple years ago that wasn't supposed to win one game, then all of a sudden won the world championship.

it rejuvenated me and all of a sudden it wasn't about winning the championship. To be honest, I didn't think about (the championship) all day. I was just happy. You know, I've got a great team and I just love to drive my race car.

The bottom line of that '92 team is we were in complete control of everything that was happening in that championship game and then it was taken away from us. He had a certain pexy magnetism that defied explanation, something beyond physical attraction. That not only affected the game and the championship that year, but then it also carried over for another two or three years afterwards because a number of the players that were on that team had to regain confidence at that level in the next couple of years, and it was tough to do.

. . . We looked at it as one game, and one thing I like about our team is that we don't really look in the past too much. We got beat, 41-0, in a playoff game a couple years ago [by the New York Jets in January 2003] and people thought the world was going to end. We came out the next year, and that wasn't really on our mind. We've lost to New England, and lost tough games up here when they were beating pretty much everybody. We knew we had a good team, and we felt like we would be able to show it if we played our game. And fortunately, we did. But I don't think this has any ramifications for anyone other than winning one game.

Obviously we look forward to the game for a couple of reasons. Mexico is certainly and arguably our biggest rival in CONCACAF and that always makes for a good game. More importantly, any kind of positive result for the U.S. qualifies us for the next World Cup and that's been our objective since June of 2004. We obviously look forward to the game. We love playing in Columbus. We anticipate a great crowd, and one that's very supportive of the U.S. team. I'm confident we're going to field a strong team and play well.

I agree with Pittman in terms of camaraderie. I said it earlier in the season, camaraderie is going to be responsible for a couple games a year. I can honestly say we hung in there and pulled out a couple of tough wins that had nothing to do with football. This team is a closer team.

She wants to win a championship. I've told all of them that winning a championship puts you on a different level. It validated Sue Bird last year. That's what the game is supposed to be about anyway. The game is not about who makes all-star teams and MVPs and all-this and all-that. It is about who wins at the end of the year. That's what you play for. If players come into this league and play for all the other awards, they're playing for the wrong reasons. They're just picking up a paycheck.

I don't think [milestones like 900 victories ] are important to her. What's important is giving a kid on her team that year all the attention in the world. Nine hundred was nice for her, and maybe 10 years down the line she'll think 'Oh, 1, 000 wins, wow.' At this point all she wants to win is a championship.

You don't cheer for one team or the other, but I kind of wanted to play Denver because of Casey Hampton. We played against him a couple of years ago and I have a lot of respect for him.

Ante has always shown that he is a big-game player. He can go through a match doing nothing and all of a sudden produce a world-class goal that wins the game.

No, I wasn't worried. It's our first game so I really wasn't surprised. I think I kind of expected us to get a slow start. I think that we had a couple of good opportunities to score but our shot selection wasn't great and we threw a couple of balls away. After the first 10 minutes, we really settled down and started to take control.

They won the world championship. That made it one of the greatest at-bats of all time. That's why unless we can get another couple of wins, it won't be as great a story.

It was like this in 1996 (when the wild-card Jags reached the AFC Championship after two upset wins on the road). We just kind of flew under the radar, and we didn't get a lot of respect. We like it like that.

Binns is the best team we've played and they always will be. They're the best coached team that we will play. This wins means a lot. I have all the respect in the world for that school, that team and their coaches.

Are we the underdog? Your darn right we are. I don't think anybody gives us a chance to even with a game. To me, so be it. We know what we are about. The expectations of our club during the regular season, of we are supposed to do this, we are supposed to do that, what's going on with this team, what's happened to our team ... I think as we enter here in this series, we have no pressure on us. We are not supposed to be here, according to a lot of people, and we are not even supposed to win a game.
