Today’s Top Quotes:
- “Vincent Aboubakar will celebrate his 35th career goal and a winning goal – potentially – in the World Cup against Brazil; it’s going to be a walk-off winner. Because for taking his shirt off he gets the yellow card, his second of the game.” – FOX Soccer play-by-play announcer John Strong following Vincent Aboubakar game-winning goal celebration for Cameroon WATCH
- “When [Aleksandar] Mitrović controls the ball at his chest, there is a small contact on the shoulder – it’s not a hold, it was just a light contact of the shoulder and then he goes two steps, and pulls himself down, and that’s what the referee sees – he sees the initial contact, and then he sees him fall down in a very weird way. I think the right decision is to play on.” – Mark Clattenburg weighs in on controversial call in Serbia-Switzerland match WATCH
- “One goal can change everything… A muscular second-half performance by South Korea.” – Ian Darke following the conclusion of Korea’s 2-1 win over Portugal WATCH
- “He [Sergiño Dest] was being recruited by the United States and Netherlands, and for him to choose to play for the United States, that’s a big decision. … Now he gets to match up against all these players that he knows, and I expect him to be very motivated for that game.” – Sacha Kljestan discussing USMNT right-back Sergiño Dest with Jimmy Conrad and DaMarcus Beasley on World Cup Now WATCH
- “The turning point was when I was in Germany, my mom took me out of school to see the USMNT, and that was the moment I decided I want to play for my country.” – Weston McKennie shares his unique journey to the U.S. Men’s National Team WATCH
