It was an end-to-end game with plenty of chances. The humidity probably had a little impact on everybody -- the first time everyone has played in that kind of weather.

There's so much more to his game than just scoring goals. He sees passes that other people don't see. He holds the ball. He attracts a lot of attention.
boys excited four games good middle run season tough turned
We are on a good run. We are unbeaten in four games now. We had a tough run in the middle of the season that was well documented, but we've turned it around, and the boys are getting very excited about the games we've got ahead.
beat colorado confidence deserved game home thoroughly win winning
We really need to go out and beat Colorado on Saturday. They're still right at our heels, so it's important to get the win in that respect, but it also important to keep winning and keep the confidence high, especially at home going into the playoffs. I thought that we thoroughly deserved the game and I would have been disappointed if we didn't come out with a win.
came ended game happen hitting last mark played pleased spots time towards year
Mark played very, very well. He came in and got his goal. I was very pleased for him. He was here last year and played towards the end of the year. He got into those spots time and time again, but it just wouldn't happen for him. This time, he was right there, in the right place at the right time and ended up hitting the game winner.
bad belt character game gave happy mark three twice win
It's the first game of the season, you want to get off the mark and get that first win under your belt so we're very happy to get the three points. ... We gave up two bad goals, but with that, we were able to come back twice which is good. We showed a lot of character and that is something I think is really important.
boys complain credit final game goal goes main playoff style
Can't complain about anybody, ... You get to the final and you're narrowly beaten. A lot of credit goes to my boys for getting here. This was a one-off, playoff style game and we had a lot of 20-year-olds out there. The main goal is the MLS Cup.
chance changes clark coming game half happen lift second three
(The first goal) changes the game doesn't it, coming out like that in the second half. I thought that the first half was pretty even, they had the one chance where (Ricardo) Clark got through, and we had two or three opportunities that were close. We just need one of them to go to give you a lift and a boost, but that just didn't happen tonight.
despite gear
We just could not get into gear even after we scored despite having most of the possession.
energy life middle missed
We missed his energy and his life through the middle of the park.

field home knew lift ourselves reason result results spirit starting took
The spirit has always been pretty good. We always had belief, we just weren't getting any results because of some little things, ... There wasn't any one reason that things weren't going right so we knew that once we got the first result that things would lift off. This is our home, our home field and it took a while to give it ourselves a home-field advantage, but we're starting to do that.
again freedom gives good middle outside playing ronnie switch
Ronnie started in the middle but he has freedom to roam. With Ramon playing outside of him, and with Ramon being comfortable outside or inside, it's good that they can switch and that again gives us good flexibility.
