"We’re a crazy country about sports, but for the longest time, only followed our own sports." ― Claudio Reyna Topic(s): Sports More From Claudio Reyna "EA SPORTS has a strong partnership with adidas and through this relationship they approached adidas about using some of their top players from around the world." "It’s a unique situation as well because England is a small country, so it makes it easy for the fans to travel. If we play down in London, they get buses and we’ll get three or four thousand fans come down. They’ll all sit in the same area and show their support for the team." "I think we have our sports within our own culture that are huge with baseball, football, basketball, and hockey. Those are the sports in America that we grow up with and soccer isn’t really there yet."

God only knows what street corners I’d have been standing on and God only knows what I’d have been doing, but instead I played hockey and went to school and stayed out of trouble."― Bobby Orr "I grew up in Baltimore. And yes, I am a big sports fan, especially when it comes to my local teams."― Josh Charles
