bread butter confines defense good offense style suited
They are a very good team. They play a high-tempo style of play. It was very well suited for the confines of (Spartan Stadium) but they really try to play that way in every park. Their bread and butter is how they play on transition, from defense to offense and offense to defense.
battle both extra home sides soccer
They play soccer on both sides of the ball. They are attack-minded. They are going to battle you for 90 minutes. At home they have a little extra zip.
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.
attacking came confidence looking shutting trying
I thought we came out attacking and shutting them down, trying not to give them the confidence that they would have to be looking for on the road.
favorite guys pony ride running since word
He has been magnificent since the All-Star break, and especially on the road. The guys around him are running off him very well. My favorite word for him is the catalyst. He makes everyone else around him better, and we are going to ride that pony as long as we can.

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.

He would push it to the limit with skill, tactical acumen, effort and aggressiveness. He was never inclined to take shortcuts. 'Celo' knew that small details could lead to big accomplishments.
complete early gave good man package quickness terms
For sure, the man explodes. He is the complete package in terms of quickness and speed. But Scott also gave him a good early ball.
both chances game good teams whether win wound
Good teams have to be able to win by one goal, whether that's 1-0 or 2-1 or whatever. This game could have wound up 4-3. There were chances on both ends.
again behavior bottom certainly deep early forced friday knee line man night order rant rave schedule sorts wednesday
I could rant and rave about a lot of things. I could rant and rave about the man in the middle. I could rant and rave about the unsportsmanlike behavior of (Glen) for most of the game. I could certainly rant and rave about the schedule which forced us to play Wednesday night and again on Friday and on a rainy, knee deep field. There's all sorts of physiological reasons, but the bottom line is we didn't play well enough early enough in order to go and get that first goal.
bench depth guys quality spot starting
I like our depth this season. There are some guys who didn't even get off the bench (against FC Dallas) who I could see challenging for a starting spot in June. We got a half-dozen quality guys out of the draft.
four goal last run time
The goal that Gomez got, that's the first time anybody's got a goal on us over the run of play in the last four games.
