I like these scrappy matches; battles, you know. That's what it's going to be in the playoffs, when it comes down to the end, so it was a good, fun game.

It's a great opportunity for us young guys to try to make a World Cup team. Playing every day in MLS has helped me. I just want to keep going forward.

The field here is big and you can only pack it in to a certain extent when we're attacking with the kind of numbers that we're going to do this weekend. We have to get Christian Gomez in the game a little more. Just try to find him a little more and create stuff from the outside.

I don't think we came out with the intensity we needed. It's about finishing your chances, and both teams had them and both didn't finish them. Now we've got to do a better job on the road.

We grew up together on the youth teams, too, so it's a fun opportunity for us. We're really looking forward to playing with each other again, and the younger guys are close anyway because you have a lot more in common.

Terrible, just terrible. I have no answers.

We'll be fine. We've been doing this for months now. We're very deep, and we've got a great group of guys that can step in. We'll bounce back.
