Nobody wins or loses a match; it's the team that wins or loses. You have to be looking to contribute towards the team goal.

Samuel Eto'o

You're either on the Republican team or the Democratic team, and all that matters is that your team wins. Judging by history, regardless of which team wins, the people always lose.

Steven Van Zandt

I believe a family can be like that sports team. A successful family wins as a team. But if its members are intent upon winning their own individual battles with one another, the team loses. A winning solution is to work out the differences and, when it's over, let it be over. Then they can get back in the game as a team.

Steve Goodier

In this league, it's so easy to get caught up in if this team loses and this team wins, and you get there, we can have home field.

Greg Olsen

When the team wins, everybody wins, so I can score two points, one point, get three rebounds, if our team wins, that's all that matters to me.

Trevor Ariza

If I may make a football analogy, we're a team whether we're a football team or community or the United States of America. We are part of a team and I believe the people on that team have a right, but they also have the obligation if there is something that is not good or we don't agree on, to speak about it.

Jim Harbaugh

The team that wins makes minimum mistakes, and the one which loses, that one makes more mistakes than the other team.

Shahid Afridi

The team that is the most focused and executes the best is the team that wins. That's usually the team that can handle the pressure of the situation.

As long as my team wins games, who cares what people say?

Kyle Lowry

Talking of first times Stephanie, I bet your first time was really memorable for you and the captain ot the football team .. and the basketball team .. and the softball team, the track team, the chess club and the pool boy!

Chris Jericho

Kind of making that leap from a team that wins occasionally to a team that wins the majority of the time, a lot of times just comes down with figuring out how tough it is to win, and then executing down the stretch to do it.

J. J. Redick

When I was in high school I asked myself at one point: "Why do I care if my high school's team wins the football game? I don't know anybody on the team, they have nothing to do with me... why am I here and applaud? It does not make any sense." But the point is, it does make sense: It's a way of building up irrational attitudes of submission to authority and group cohesion behind leadership elements. In fact it's training in irrational jingoism. That's also a feature of competitive sports.

Noam Chomsky

In football, the stronger team is the one which wins.

Rivaldo

Supporting the English cricket team is like supporting a second division football team. I support Norwich City football team and when they lose I really don't mind because I expect them to; but when we win I'm so happy - much happier than any Arsenal supporter could ever be.

Stephen Fry

One single great player doesn't make anything for a team; it has to be a team. I think [American] football is the greatest team sport there is because you have to depend on your brother next to you.
