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.
elated giving goal goals good second tied
We're not frustrated, but we're not elated either. We scored the first goal, we scored the second goal after they tied it up, so we feel good about that. We don't feel good about giving up two goals off restarts.
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.
artistry ball credit dominated effort finally games goals hanging hard majority matter riding scrappy stand technical time today vast won
Today wasn't a matter of hanging in there. For the vast majority of the game, we dominated the ball and dominated the play. We all know that games aren't just won on artistry and on ball possession. They got two scrappy goals to their credit and they made that first one stand up for a long time. When we finally answered, they got another one. You congratulate them for their effort and grit. 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.
couple decisions defensive fly goal good half leads needed past recent trips
The only fly in the ointment was that goal in the first half in one of their infrequent trips (in the Wizards' defensive end). There were a couple of decisions we needed to make better. Then we got a little apprehensive after that. We were teetering a little bit. Two-zero leads in the recent past haven't been good to us.
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.
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.
attacked created effective team winners
The better team doesn't always win. We attacked and we created more opportunities. The winners were a little more effective where it matters.
conference favorites forward legitimate looking played whether
They are legitimate favorites in their conference and in the league. Having said that, we've played them well over the years whether it's been at their place or here. We're looking forward to that test.
against college impressed impression isolated last played saw
We saw (Watson) the last part of the college season. We also saw him last summer. You get as much of an impression there as you do in isolated games. We were impressed with how he played with and against our guys.
contend energy level match plays
We all know what energy level he plays at. We have to contend with that and we have to match that.
road warriors
We've had 2 1/2 lackluster performances here, ... Let's see if we're the road warriors we think we are.
april asking felt good last please ready start year
Bo had a pretty good year last year. We felt all year long that Will was ready to play and we still feel the same way. So if you are asking me who is going to start on April 1, please come and watch.
anxious capable coming knew
We knew it was coming one way or another. We have enough capable guys, 27 guys, all anxious and capable of playing.
