Anton Oliver Quotes


Anton Oliver

I can`t come right out of the boot and step on the field. I really want to play in the playoffs. But it just doesn`t make any sense to go out there and hurt myself even worse.

It couldn`t be set up in a better way. It would be great to get a result against a team like Mexico and qualify for Germany at the same time.

I`ve seen three guys like that,

I`m getting there. It`s more from the mental standpoint now. There will be a little bit of pain, and in my head I think I`m making it worse and I know I`m not.

It was a good ball by Landon, but it`s like a kid in a candy store. I was already thinking about my celebration before I even headed the ball.

Those are two things I`ll never forget.

No, it`s not 100 percent, but it`s close. I`m almost there. I`m just happy to be back in camp and with the team again.

But I wasn`t myself in those games.

I couldn`t do anything except ride the (exercise) bike and do some upper body work to stay somewhat fit. I was just miserable. But the success of the team kept me happy and gave me something to strive for.

I`ll let Bruce make his decisions, and I`ll be fine with whatever. I`m just happy to be back with the guys.
