Ray Akiona Quotations

I think the goal gave us a little confidence, knowing we had to go against the wind in the second half. It was very important for us to get a goal with the wind to our backs. It made a difference.

I think there's a lot of parity; it's going to be an extremely competitive tournament. You have to take every team very seriously from the start.

I worry about every team, from day one. My concern would be the altitude; we haven't played in those conditions. I'm not sure how that is going to affect the teams, besides the teams that have already played there.

You sign up your kid and you don't realize you get hooked on it.

It was panic soccer. They took us out of our offense.

If you had the wind, you had to get your goal. We were fortunate to get a good goal from Stephanie Yoro.
