I think the big difference is the land in California. It is like trying to buy land in New York City. I think that's the problem (AEG) ran into. I want to believe that the ownership group pursued the stadium options during their time (in San Jose). I would expect that in three years time they truly believe they are going to get it done in Houston. |
I think the players have to accept some of the responsibility of going in and doing the right thing. |
It's one of those that if you don't give up any goals in the beginning of the year and then you give up three or four in the middle of the year nobody panics. |
It's pretty uncharacteristic for our team. |
Right now we're getting scored on with our game plan. |
The experience that night was fantastic. I think that's where most of my enthusiasm comes from. It was an amazing atmosphere that they created there. We had the benefit of having the L.A. Galaxy against one of the bigger Mexican teams, so there was a large Hispanic crowd, but the point there is they are passionate about soccer. The fans are there; I know they are there because I've seen it. |
They've basically traded all of us and got nothing for the city in return. |
This is potentially a really good thing for me. Allowing me to focus solely on my soccer for a while is really fantastic. |
