We get to play every team before the World Cup, touring in different conditions besides a few series at home. It gives a lot of opportunities to the youngsters. As we play more, we get to see who a quality player is and what plans and strategies would work for the team.

Mithali Raj

Certain people who care about me a lot have said 'You don't play the game, and if you don't play the game, you don't get picked for the team all the time.

Rosie Perez

I just hope I get picked by the right team and the team that really wants me and a team where I can help and take it to the next level.

Trae Young

When you play in the Premier League, say you're playing against a lower-end team, they set up to defend all the time, they set up to block you off. But when you play in the Champions League, all the other teams are used to winning every week, so it's more of an open game, it's more attacking, end-to-end.

Gareth Bale

The negative thing about working on a breakfast show is that the alarm goes off at 2:15 A.M., and I get picked up at 2:30 A.M. That's just insanely early.

Kate Garraway

Playing against an Italian team is harder than all the other leagues. The Italians won't score lots of goals, but they won't concede many, either.

Paul Pogba

Guys don't want to get to two strikes, so you have to make quality pitches early in the count, try to get them to put the ball in play.

Stephen Strasburg

I think people fail to realize that teams and organizations have been stacking teams since way back in the day. The Lakers had the Showtime era. Boston had six hall of famers on one team. You had Detroit, the New York Knicks, and now the Miami Heat. They were stacking their teams back then, it just fell off over the years and now it picked back up. Boston did it first, then LA. I was fortunate enough to play against them when they had Shaq, Kobe, Rick Fox, Gary Payton, Karl Malone... that's five hall of famers on one team! So you can't get mad at Miami for doing what they did.

Carmelo Anthony

Arsenal play attractive football, and I enjoy that. I think you could see against the MLS side that this team has a lot of quality, and we'll give our all to show that on the pitch.

Granit Xhaka

For me it's more difficult to play against the quicker wingers, but for the team it's perhaps more difficult to face players that are good passers, because one through ball can take the whole team out of the game.

Philipp Lahm

A coach was managing the Newbury team, and he wanted me to play for his local team, and from there, I did it at district level, and then I got picked for Southampton.

Theo Walcott

I think all tennis players have to struggle through the early stages of their career. We start off playing tournaments and really just get by. I always had a dream to play in the big tournaments and never have doubted if it was worth it. Having to battle a little early on in my career makes it all the more worthwhile now.

Samantha Stosur

It's a special feeling when you play against your old team. I don't care how you left that team, in a good way or a bad way, you want to get the win.

Zaza Pachulia

I think it's always important to get off to a good start early, and especially with a younger team that hasn't been together that long, you want to get out of the gates hot and strong.

Danny Ainge

The key to guarding Kevin Durant is to play really good team defense. One on one, it's just tough. So you try to get all five guys to play against him.
