Bruce Arena said : “The leadership of a Scott Caldwell, a Teal Bunbury, an Andrew Farrell, and go down even to Matt Turner who hasn’t been here as long as those guys, they’re really players with great character and I noticed that immediately when I came in last year,” “I’m not the easiest guy to play with because I can be critical of the players at times, they get a little bit of tough love, but they’ve hung in there all the way and I think their chemistry and character in the end has been a difference maker in us having a little bit of success so far”

Bruce Arena said : “He was excellent, he basically scored in every game I played him in,” “If anybody, I’d say there are similarities to Landon Donovan . But having said that, it’s important everyone understand I think you judge a player over time. And over time, Landon had a very good career. Perhaps you would argue he had a short career in Europe. I’m just saying Landon has 100-plus caps, was the leading scorer in MLS, and [Pulisic] has a way to go before you start comparing him to Landon and others. Everyone needs to be patient. We haven’t had many elite players and everyone is so anxious to have one. I don’t question his talent but it’s too early to make a judgment”

Perhaps it’s a good lesson for us”

Bruce Arena said ( about Seattle Sounders ) : “I just think it needs to be coordinated better,” “Like the goal they called back on us, the referee indicated goal twice, and then there was mass confrontation by the Seattle team, and then they went to VAR. And then they called it back. Whether decisions are right or wrong, I think it needs to be done in a more efficient way so you don’t question the process. If you’re going to check VAR after a goal, you go check quick and you get on with it. And this thing, everything turned out to be controversial”

Bruce Arena said : "If I made those comments, I certainly don't believe that that's my attitude," "I believe anyone that has a passport in the United States is certainly eligible to play for our national team, and I embrace all players that are eligible to play. I just want to make sure their heart is in the right place and when they place that U.S. jersey on they're playing for that crest on their shirt"
