It just seems that every fluke play happens to Taylor. He's had a few chances, and like anybody else he has to break the ice and get a goal. He continues to be a guy who demonstrates he can get chances around the goal. |
It was a good win and good experience for a lot of players. I've been told that we finished first in the group, which is nice, but wasn't critical. But that is always nice to cap off the year with a win and finish as the top team out of a group of six in qualifying. That's a great accomplishment for our group. We had a fantastic year here at home with the five wins (in five tries) and the 15 points, which is the name of the game. Great year. |
It was a good win, good experience for a lot of our players. We've been on the road the entire year, and we're exhausted. |
It was an important experience for our young guys and hopefully we can continue to build as we move forward towards the World Cup. |
It was good to see Taylor score a goal because I understand he's supposed to be a goal scorer. It was nice to see him score one in our jersey ... hopefully there's many more to come. |
It was one of those days where the ball just didn't go in the back of the net. However, when we walk away with three points in qualifying, it's big. |
It's a great day for U.S. soccer. |
It's a possibility, I don't want to answer that. We'll see how he does. |
It's an opportunity now for a number of players who haven't received a whole lot of minutes in the first three games to show us what they're about. |
It's difficult. You look at it and you'll say it's a breeze and it wasn't a breeze. |
It's easy to look at [qualifying] and think that it's a breeze . . . but it's not a breeze. Our experiences over the last four years have positioned us to be successful. Our guys know how to win in big games. |
It's like going from college basketball to the NBA. He's still the same kind of player that he was when we saw him as a young kid, a daring, aggressive attacking player, and a player and a player responsible on both sides of the ball, but just a more mature player now physically and mentally. |
It's likely that we have two teams from Europe. I'm not going to worry about it one way or the other. |
It's nice. It wasn't critical. But to cap off the year with a win and end up the top team is a great accomplishment for our group. |
It's not perfect, but it's a good position to be in. |
