You look at the standings now with the top teams at the top of the table and you look at us in last place and I feel now there is not a big difference.

The big thing about Bob is that he brings the right mentality to the team. That's the biggest thing that has changed since day one.

With Claudio coming in and being a leader for our defense, it has been great. His presence and his knowledge of the game has really been good for us.

Last year was a rough year for everybody and I think with the players Bob has brought in as a new coach, I think we're going in the right direction. The atmosphere and tone we set for ourselves from Day One has been pretty high. I think we're starting to get there and every day we're going to get closer and closer.

From the start of the game it was fun. That was a big thing. We wanted to have fun and have a good time playing.

Anytime you come into a match like this, of this magnitude, as a rookie, you really just don't grasp the entire concept of it. Mentally this year, I feel 100 times more prepared than last year, knowing what to expect.

When you have all those fans behind you ... and you get one goal, and you get another and you finish off the game in the second half, there's nothing like it. Everyone was just all smiles today.

It's going to be a great time, we'll go out there and interact with the fans first-hand. It should be a good event, the winners of the tournament get to go to the World Cup, so there's an incentive for them. It's all about promoting the World Cup. It's the most viewed [single-sport] event in the world, and it's only a couple months away, so it should be a fun weekend for everyone.

In New York we had the lead and here we had the lead. We need to learn how to keep the lead and get a big result on the road. Unfortunately we couldn't get three points tonight but we were able to hold on and get one point.
