As far as I know, the players haven't been talking about it; maybe with their families at home, but not around here (the stadium, practice facility, etc.). The only people who have brought it up are the media. |
Ching will be with us Saturday. He'll then depart for the national team and meet us in D.C. (where the team plays D.C. United on April 15). |
Eddie hadn't played in more than a month and was very good. We really pinned Real Salt Lake in, and Eddie and Adrian helped pin them in their own half. Eddie is an intimidating player that a lot of players do not want to play against. |
Especially with the houses' prices. |
From the forwards to the defenders to the goalie, everybody is committed to making life difficult for the opposing players. |
I am disappointed. [However], we did get some good chances. We came out of the gate pretty well and we ended the game well. In between it was a little difficult. |
I don't think we played our best game tonight. The effort was there but obviously guys can't play brilliant every week. However, we're always playing for three points. The guys push each other for that - they're a proud group. |
I feel honored and fortunate that AEG and the Houston MLS franchise have taken me on as the coach again. I just can't wait for the season to start. |
I give all the credit to the players. I just told them to play all 90 minutes. You have to give yourself a chance to win the game. You can't fault these guys - they try to win games every single Saturday and we've been rewarded for it. |
I heard the weather's going to be bad, but you know what? It's a game. We need a game. ... We need a game bad. |
I knew as soon as the whistle was blown that Dwayne was going to run over and get it or wrestle it out of somebody's hands. |
I like to do stuff within the league with players that know the setup of travel, stadiums and referees. We don't just bring in players without knowing a lot about their character. I believe in the American player. |
I think about it when I go home, because you want to know what's happening, and I want the team to stay here. But we don't talk about it at all. We can't control it. The only thing we can control is working Monday through Friday, and then [playing] Saturday. |
I think Alexi and Frank and I all value the same things in players. We want guys who fit into a system, who are willing to play their role. I think they like each other, and you see it out on the pitch. |
I think people got their money's worth. I think we gave them more than enough reason to come back next Saturday. |
