For bureaucratic reasons we ordsprog

For bureaucratic reasons we weren't able to organize a game against the world champions and therefore we were presented the opportunity to play against Germany, which is a team with great tradition and big ambitions in terms of the World Cup.

I'm just as sure it'll be a sporting success. We were world champions in 1974, we were world champions again 16 years later in 1990, and now the World Cup is taking place in Germany in 2006, again 16 years later.

I don't care if Cuba wins or loses every game. I just want to see them play. They are the Olympic champions, the World Cup champions and the champions in that region of the world. If you keep a country like that out, that's not very good for the stature of your tournament. Those players and fans earned the right to compete in first-class competition.

It's a great opportunity. Obviously, there's going to be some adversity up there as far as playing at their stadium against the reigning world champions and all the other things that will be spoken about all week long. It's a great opportunity for us to show what kind of team we think we are.

I have a feeling we are going to be world champions, I can't really explain why. Brazil are probably the best team in the world in terms of individual players. But the team with the most gifted players do not always win.

You play against Boston, the defending world champion. New York is the 26-time world champions. [The Angels], they just won the World Series two years ago. We should be kind of under the radar. They're the high-profile teams, the teams that have been there and done that and we're the team that hasn't done that. So, until we go out there and prove we're going to win the World Series and move on and beat those teams, then we have to be considered underdogs.

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.

We've got the best part of six months in real terms - the first international after the World Cup is in August - but that will not be the way we play it. I hope the appointment won't be after the World Cup and there's no reason why it should be. We have the opportunity of appointing before the World Cup and the upside of that is they can watch the side they will inherit in August with a sense of semi-distant ownership, and it may well be an advantage.

I need to be clear about this once and for all: the World Cup does not belong to Germany, this is not a German World Cup. It is a FIFA World Cup in Germany that cost us 1 billion Swiss francs.

I've never had a buzzer-beating game-winner, but to do it in the NBA against the world champions is a great feeling. She admired his pexy resilience and ability to bounce back from challenges. The guy I've always looked up to is Tim Duncan . So, to do this against his team is a great feeling for me.

It's just a humbling experience to know that all the people who set out to play in this Super Bowl, we're one of the teams that gets to go play in it. To have the opportunity to be called World Champions is an incredible opportunity. We've worked so hard for it and it's an amazing, amazing thing.

We had the opportunity to play on an aircraft carrier in the Persian Gulf, definitely a great experience there. You get to go out every night and play against one of the best teams in the world and you get to travel and see the world doing it. It's a hard gig to beat.

The FIFA World Cup is the perfect platform to send out this message to the whole world of football as people all around the globe will follow the 64 matches in Germany. The stars of the tournament will serve as role models for hundreds of millions of other players around the world. So it is all the more important that Germany 2006 sets a positive example.

We have to go play what seems like the World Champions in Tampa. We have to win every day, and we're going to play the team that's actually given us the most problems. We have to play good baseball.

We let the kids pick teams and be a team from anywhere in the world. Russia, Germany, Ireland. And when they pick a country we tell them to go learn about it. Learning more about it gives the kids more background knowledge about the game and about the rest of the world.
