"Jordan has progressively played better
in each match so far. His work rate up front and ability to hold the ball
under pressure helps a great deal and he created some great opportunities
in the Uruguay game, and was unfortunate not to score. But he created some
chances for himself, which is important. For him to be able to score the
second goal against Mexico was a big boost for him, and I think the same
grand piano I had on my shoulders heading into El Salvador (the team's
CONCACAF playoff last spring) he had on his back, but he got rid of it
with that goal."

Jorda Cila's form in New Zealand 99
"We are excited about having the top
forward from the U.S. Under-17 National Team coming to Duke and adding to
our long tradition of excellence, Jordan has scored goals against some of
the toughest competition in our country and internationally. We look
forward to him continuing his play at Duke University."
-- Duke University Coach John Rennie
"I used to watch tapes of him play.
The player I am is all because of him. He told me, 'I don't want you to
feel the pressure because I was a professional. I will still love you.'
"
-- Jordan Cila on his father, Renato Cila
former Rochester Lancers member
"By no means am I a great goal
scorer. I am still trying to be one."
-- Jordan Cila On himself |
