I think we played hard. We didn't come out with the points. When you play D.C. you know it is going to be hard. It was hard when we played them at home. We beat them. We knew it was going to be hard and took a really good free kick to open up the goals.

I did it because I love it, I did it because it's part of me and I did it because I had the greatest support. I didn't come (to the U.S.) to play soccer, I came here for a new life. ... Soccer is in my blood. My family is in my heart.

I think it was not the best game. One-on-one, he had more downs than ups.

The other team played hard; they executed a great free kick. You have to give them credit. We suffered some injuries but you have to give the credit to the team that played well.

It doesn't matter who we play. You have to play them all to get there. San Jose, when they play at Spartan Stadium, that's a completely different game so they may be a little more difficult.

I've had Jeff playing for me for most of the season and he's done tremendously well. So, do I need to see more of Jeff? No, I don't.

I think right now, we have to look at Gargan and see what he can give us.

We make some individual mistakes that cost us the game, but I'm looking forward to playing the Galaxy again, 11-v-11, without any red cards, with no penalties. We get the red card and that changes the game. It was crucial.

I don't believe he'll start right now, but we have cleared the air extremely well. I like the way he trained (Friday), specifically. Right now, Jeff is ready to come in. I'm counting on him to play, don't know how many minutes. Nobody's guaranteed minutes in this franchise. Jeff is aware of that and, I think, is prepared to play and do whatever it takes to help this team.
