“You don’t want to wait until a tragedy sets in until you say, Oh, we should have done something. I think we’re already at a tipping point.”

-- Former U.S. star Julie Foudy on the need for U.S. Soccer to put more programs in place for young women following setbacks for the two U.S. girls national teams and the loss by the women's national team to Mexico. (New York Times)

-- U.S. Soccer president Sunil Gulati. (New York Times)
