although america english german kept mother speak tongue trust
I've been in America for 50 years. The mother tongue is in German, but I trust I speak English better than I speak German, although I've kept up the German pretty well.
far played series
As far we're concerned, this is a two-game series and we're only at halftime. We've played at their place, and now they have to play at ours.
college faster game
As our game (MLS) is getting better, it's getting better, faster than the college game.
guys houston longer periods possession quality time week
You never have a enough possession for a coach. You just don't want the other guys to have it. But we're getting better at that. I think we had it for longer periods of time and there were more quality sequences than we had in Houston (one week earlier), for example.
anyone came good last league lesser perform realistic team
We came here. We attacked. The better team doesn't always win. We were not the lesser team last week. We were not the lesser team this week. I'm always a realistic optimist. We are as good as anyone in this league when we perform like we know we can.
came everywhere goals guys hard maybe pointed won
We came here to win, ... I pointed out to the guys before that we'd won everywhere (in MLS) but here. It was there. Maybe at the end of the day, it was a just result. But it's hard to give up two goals on restarts.
career gifted high obviously opportunity saw school work
We obviously had the opportunity to see Will. I think we saw Will his whole high school career and some sessions when he would come out and work with us. From day one he impresses you. He is, technically, a very gifted individual.
level passes specific strung together
No one else has this specific kind of (artificial) turf. You have to up your level of concentration, because you are not going to get used to it in 90 minutes. We concentrated and strung some passes together and did well with it.
ball games hard riding technical time today won
You look at us and all that riding time on the ball and you've got to have more results. I thought we had more opportunities today than they did. That's a positive. Games aren't always won by tactical and technical things, they are sometimes won by hard work. They got the better of us in that way.
confidence continue excited families road stoke
We're all excited to see our families and try to continue what we got going on this road trip. This should stoke some confidence in everyone.
couple decent either front good handing knows line lord man maybe physical score speed technical terms traits
When the good Lord was handing out the physical traits in terms of quickness, agility, speed and coordination, he was at the front of the line and maybe he went in line a couple of times for some of them. But he knows how to use it. For a young man of 21 he's got a pretty decent set of technical skills. He can score with either foot. He can score in the air.
good performance road sure win
For sure it was a better performance on offense. We need to take it from there, ... We've all been in these kind of predicaments before. We've been very good on the road this year; we have to go and win a game. You take the positive, and you go.
attractive blessed brings eddie excitement game goals impact leads plays speed
What Eddie brings is a combination of excitement and effect, he plays the game in an attractive fashion. He is blessed with speed and touch, but that leads to goals and wins. He is an impact player.
guys looking order people special
The people that we are looking at are pillars. They will be guys who will do something special in order to make us better.
