I think people walked away fairly entertained, which is a big part of selling this sport in America. |
I think the people got their money's worth. |
I think the scuffle took some of the spirit out of it, but up until that point it was a good game. Up until that point I think it was a pretty evenly played game. |
I think we've exceeded expectations. However, when we have everyone healthy, we have very high expectations and we do expect to win games on the road. |
I want to make sure that we put them under pressure because with them playing three in the back, it will allow us to create mistakes in their end of the field and create chances from there. |
I wish it was resolved so I can come home with a clear mind. It's hard not to think about it when it's your life. |
I'd like most of the games to be against the competition you play against during the season. You want to see where your team is at and you also want to see if your new guys are good enough. |
If first impressions mean anything, I think we'll have some adoring fans this year. |
If Landon Donovan going to L.A. strengthens MLS and carries it on for five or 10 years, I'm all for that, because I believe in American soccer. He had four great years here, and he's a good person. Everyone has a right to live their life the way they want to live their life, so good luck to him. |
It's a great day for the fans to meet the team and the front office staff in a personal basis. It's a good step to build a strong bond and relationship with our fans. Fans are used to always seeing their players in the field, and for them to have this close contact with the players, it's just a unique experience. |
It's going to be more competitive. It's going to be a tighter race from top to bottom. |
It's good that we get to start off at home. We're going to try and make home a very hard place to play (for other teams). |
Last year's pool, who would have guessed [during the combine] how good it would be. People were saying, 'Well, maybe, maybe not,' and then the first-year players came through with flying colors. |
More than likely we're looking to balance it out again. |
Our first pass, we have to get it out of pressure because they push five or six guys forward. If we can get that first ball forward into [Cerritos] and [Moreno], and then join them, then we should have some good success. |
