They've been unbelievable the whole tournament but at the end of the day, it was our best chance ever and we haven't taken it. – Matt Reece	Found on Reuters 6 years ago
We were planning to leave, but now we have to stay until Monday. – Sinisa Pavlek	Found on Reuters 6 years ago
When you have spells, you have to make them count; we probably needed that second goal, we've come an incredible long way in a short space of time. We are probably beyond where we thought we might be able to go. So tonight we weren't quite there, but the team will be stronger for that. – Gareth Southgate	Found on Reuters 6 years ago
We created some good chances when we were 1-0 up, maybe we dropped a little too deep and we didn't get enough pressure on the ball, there's a lot we could have done better. – Harry Kane	Found on Reuters 6 years ago
As exciting as it is, I feel like I'm doing a good job of keeping it in perspective, there's hopefully two more matches still to be played. As of right now, I'm sort of more focused on that than getting too excited about the overall picture. – Roger Federer	Found on Reuters 6 years ago
I'd like to express to Russia the dear, heartfelt thanks of FIFA. – Fatma Samoura	Found on Reuters 6 years ago
The disappointment is massive but we must be realistic. We have had a good tournament, even the match against France was good, and we can be proud despite the fact that we lost, there was little difference between us and France and, in the end, it was just one corner that proved decisive. – Kevin De Bruyne	Found on Reuters 6 years ago

Maybe when it starts to harm his business the red light will flash, top players earn more from image rights than from actually playing football, so if the sponsors start disappearing that might be the moment he starts to pay attention. – Diogo Kotscho	Found on Reuters 6 years ago
In terms of communications, Neymar's big problem - and it's one common to other athletes - is his lack of empathy, he is very protected, and the people who speak for him are his dad, his mum, his sister, his girlfriend. Neymar never speaks and when he does it is via social media or in tightly controlled interview situations. Any identification with him is superficial. The priority is getting him to open up and let the public know the real Neymar. – Diogo Kotscho	Found on Reuters 6 years ago
It will be a different match that we played in Paris a few weeks ago, i will try to hold my service games most of the time. If I want to beat him, I have to come to the net very often and play hard with my forehands, with my backhands. – Del Potro	Found on Reuters 6 years ago
He always has a chance. He already beat him (Nadal). He was able to beat all the top guys, that's why people like to watch him play, because you feel something can happen. He has a lot of strengths in his game. – Gilles Simon	Found on Reuters 6 years ago
I don't feel pressure. I'm here just to be here and prove that I'm back. – Serena Williams	Found on Reuters 6 years ago
It's a big advantage that I already have a Grand Slam in my pocket... (now) I have all this motivation to just win another one, (My confidence) is on a high level because I haven't dropped a set here yet. Yesterday 2-5 down (in the first set against Aliaksandra Sasnovich), today 4-5 down, and I still won the set. From that I gain even more confidence. – Jelena Ostapenko	Found on Reuters 6 years ago
At the French Open a couple of weeks ago I had so much pressure. It's now all gone. I'm just going out there and enjoying it. – Jelena Ostapenko	Found on Reuters 6 years ago
I am fighting till the end and it helps me gain more confidence. It's great to be in the semis. – Jelena Ostapenko	Found on Reuters 6 years ago
I felt today on the court I couldn't really bring my game into the match because she was really aggressive on the return. She didn't let me play how I wanted, she's playing with no fear. On the grass she's playing even better than on the clay. It might be her year. – Dominica Cibulkova	Found on Reuters 6 years ago
In the last few years we have been working to ensure a move like this does not have such a big impact, before I would have been worried nine out of 10, now I'm worried four out of 10. It's not the same and we've done a lot of work to ensure we do not depend on the transfer market. At The Premier League we are above the name of the players, just like Real Madrid is bigger than the brand of Cristiano Ronaldo. – Javier Tebas	Found on Reuters 6 years ago
That would be a simplistic vision of the international market, the Premier League is the league that sells The Premier League broadcast rights for the biggest value and The Premier League doesn't have the best players nor the best clubs. The market for broadcasting rights does not work like this. – Javier Tebas	Found on Reuters 6 years ago
It sounds crazy to maybe have the chance to share a German final in Wimbledon. It sounds pretty cool, it's still one more match to go for both of us. But it's great to see there is a chance. It's great for German tennis. – Julia Goerges	Found on Reuters 6 years ago

Whether we win or lose, we're creating history, we'll be there and it's a once in a lifetime opportunity seeing them in the World Cup. – Bradley Goldenberg	Found on Reuters 6 years ago
