Political Quotes

“within the next few minutes, in Johannesburg, South Africa, before almost 80,000 people, the U.S. soccer team will begin its World Cup quest. They are going to be playing Slovenia, which has the fewest citizens of any of the participating countries. So I wish all the athletes representing our country success in today's match. I also want to take a minute and talk about a Nevadan who is on our team. His name is Herculez Gomez. He is a graduate of Las Vegas public schools. He was, of course, an outstanding high school athlete. He played professionally here in America, but the team decided not to sign him--Kansas City--to anything he was satisfied with, so he went to Mexico to play. He became the No. 1 player in Mexico. He holds the record for scoring more goals than any person, as I understand it, who has played for another team in that country. He is a great young man, and we are very proud of him. He is a great goal scorer, a terrific representative of Nevada and the United States in this tournament watched by billions of people around the world.”
