basically brian couple decent game goal good half second
The second goal by Ching right at the end of the half basically put the game away. I think Brian did well. He established a couple of decent goal-scoring opportunities. Overall, it was a good performance.
ahead bit both good point time todd
Both are good prospects. At this point in time Todd may be a little bit more ahead of Heath.
allowed bit came created difficult felt good guilty hang home minutes number perhaps played punished sent
We played very well. I think we felt guilty of perhaps making things a little bit difficult on ourselves. We created a number of good goal-scoring opportunities and came up short, and that allowed Trinidad to hang around for 89 minutes or so when they could have been punished and sent home a lot earlier.
believe came certain good player reason remains steve
I wasn't certain how he was going to do, but I can see differences in Steve between now and 2001 when he first came to us. He is a much more experienced player and he is a very good player, and if he remains healthy, there's no reason to believe that he won't be in our first 11.
came credit good hard opponents played
Let's give our opponents credit. I think they played real hard and came with a good plan.
arguably biggest certainly couple cup forward game good june mexico next objective obviously positive result rival saturday since
Obviously we look forward to the game on Saturday for a couple of reasons. Mexico is certainly and arguably our biggest rival in CONCACAF and that always makes for a good game. More importantly, any kind of positive result for the U.S. qualifies us for the next World Cup and that's been our objective since June of 2004.

More importantly, any kind of positive result for the U.S. qualifies us for the next World Cup and that's been our objective since June of 2004. We obviously look forward to the game. We love playing in Columbus. We anticipate a great crowd, and one that's very supportive of the U.S. team. I'm confident we're going to field a strong team and play well.
based capable certainly fitness full good johnson match played playing previous question role selecting
The previous match played no role in selecting this roster. It was based on fitness and form. We thought this was a good group. We know Bocanegra and Johnson are certainly capable of playing (a full game), but Beasley is still something of a question mark.
belong bunch cup europe field good guys next team three
We've got a bunch of guys in Europe as well as in MLS who want these opportunities to show that they belong on our next World Cup team. So we're going to put a pretty good team on the field for the next three games.

Well, he didn't hurt his chances. He's putting himself in very good position.

With a good training camp, good preparation games and the right mental approach, our team will be a team that's going to challenge anybody on the field in this World Cup.

It's not perfect, but it's a good position to be in.
entire experience good road
It was a good win, good experience for a lot of our players. We've been on the road the entire year, and we're exhausted.
cap experience fantastic finished five good great group home name nice six team top win wins year
It was a good win and good experience for a lot of players. I've been told that we finished first in the group, which is nice, but wasn't critical. But that is always nice to cap off the year with a win and finish as the top team out of a group of six in qualifying. That's a great accomplishment for our group. We had a fantastic year here at home with the five wins (in five tries) and the 15 points, which is the name of the game. Great year.
