Whenever people say 'women's soccer,' I want to correct them to say 'soccer.' Every girl has had their sport diminished because they're girls.

Alex Morgan

Soccer is Europe's biggest sport and the world's biggest sport, so as we look to go into Europe, soccer is the way to do it because of the sport's size and scale, as well as its athletes who know and understand our brand.

Maverick Carter

Liberal moms like soccer because it's a sport in which athletic talent finds so little expression that girls can play with boys. No serious sport is co-ed, even at the kindergarten level.

Ann Coulter

A lot of young women play soccer, and it's wonderful to give them something to aspire to.

Becky Sauerbrunn

Hopefully we will see a lot of women doing sport and especially soccer, because I love soccer.

Frank de Boer

In Europe, it's different - you eat soccer, you breathe soccer, you drink soccer. Everything is about soccer.

Thomas Dooley

It's important for people to believe in themselves. It's important for young girls to have the opportunity to excel and promote themselves, and learn how to communicate and that they can be individuals, yet accomplish so much. The Girl Scouts and other organizations like them make that so important, so vital. Girls are given the opportunity very early in life to give them that confidence in themselves. It's crucial for organizations to support young women.

Linda Chavez-Thompson

That's the awesome part. Little girls now have a chance to look up and see women playing soccer, basketball, softball and now hockey - and know they can win a gold medal, too.

Angela Ruggiero

Soccer is the most improvisational sport. There are no set plays. And in soccer, as in improv, you are trying to find the flow.

Brendan Hunt

I want young girls to dream about being professional soccer players instead of just watching the boys go out and play.

Alex Morgan

With soccer, it's such a dynamic sport. It's important that however you play, you should be training like that.

Becky Sauerbrunn

I feel that confidence in women - especially young girls of color - but women, in general, is so important. It is so important for us to arm ourselves and become powerful at a very young age.

Viola Davis

I'm not a huge soccer fan, but I follow the sport. I played in high school, a little bit in college, played on various club teams most of my life, and all three of my sons are competitive soccer players and far better than I ever was.

Hampton Sides

As Elders, we are fully committed to the principle that all human beings are of equal worth. You will see that we highlight equality for girls and women - not just women's rights. That is important as girls, especially adolescent girls, have been almost invisible in debates on equal rights. Yet it is in adolescence that events can have a huge effect on a girl's life.

Mary Robinson

When I was a kid, the women like Mia Hamm and Brandi Chastain were paving the way for female players in the States. Things like that are important so girls realise there is a future for them if they want to play. It is something they can aspire to, to be not just a hobby.
