Paul Mariner Team Quotations

Players need confidence. Playing for your country is no different from going from high school to college or from college to MLS. There are different tiers of international soccer too, from the so-called also-rans through the middle group up to the teams that can win the World Cup. It's a little quicker, players are a little faster, the passing is better and the timing of the runs is more acute.

We haven't conceded a goal in the two matches we've played. Yes, we've only scored one but the signs are bright for us. It's unusual for a Revolution team not to score any goals and that's why, I think, people are making a point of it and quite right too.
