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

When people say 'American soccer,' they think of the U.S. national team. But American soccer also includes Major League Soccer, and until we have a league that produces players at the rate other leagues around the world do, I don't believe we'll ever get to where we want to be.

Landon Donovan

What I found fascinating was just how quickly the best of the young Negro League players were drafted into the major leagues once Branch Rickey broke the color line by hiring Jackie Robinson. It was clear that all of the major league owners already knew the talents of the black ballplayers that they had refused to let into their league.

Walter Dean Myers

The Florida State League was considered the top A-league back then. You played in the spring training parks of major league teams, traveled throughout some great cities in Florida, and the pay was the best in A-ball.

Jim Evans

It's such a crazy league, the Championship. People used to say that to me, and when you are in the Premier League, you don't really take notice. It's a good league; it's tough, and I like it. But the Premier League is where I want to be, with Villa.

Jack Grealish

I would love to see Flip get back into the league. I think he can definitely still coach in this league. I think he will be in this league quicker than sooner.

Kevin Garnett

I must say, the standard of football we play in League Two is better than I thought. I think, if you compared it with the fourth division in other countries, such as Italy, Germany and Spain, League Two is much, much better - and that's very positive. The intensity and the tempo is as high as the Premier League.

Sven-Goran Eriksson

My wish is that soccer in the U.S. become on the same level like the Premier League, Spanish league, or the Bundesliga.

Bastian Schweinsteiger

Of course the Premier League is the most difficult league in the world because it's so even. I think you can't really compare other leagues with the Premier League. In the Premier League, every team can beat every team, and in football, that's something where you can have surprises.

Mesut Ozil

Major League Baseball has the best idea of all. Three years before they'll take a kid out of college, then they have a minor league system that they put the kids in. I'm sure that if the NBA followed the same thing, there would be a lot of kids in a minor league system that still were not good enough to play in the major NBA.

Bobby Knight

I went from Chelsea to Fulham - two Premier League teams at the time - and was sitting on the bench for the Europa League and Premier League and you don't think it is going to finish.

Neil Etheridge

Probably the Liga MX or the American league, there are a higher number of competitive games than in the Spanish league or the English league.

Gerardo Martino

My heart is with the WNBA. I've had success in the league, I've loved the league. I'm a true fan of the league.

Anne Donovan

Everyone in the league has a journey or a legacy, whether you're in the league for five years or you're in the league for one year.

D'Angelo Russell

It's clear that anyone who plays in Belgium or another league with less quality still has a chance of making the Champions League or the Europa League.
