clearly credit easiest effort exactly feels great huge points team three today top
It feels very good. Clearly today, three points in a place that has not been exactly the easiest place for us to play is huge and I credit this team; it was a great team effort today from top to bottom.
chances created division exercise good great overall played players playing progress score team though
It was a great exercise for us. We played a First Division team with many of its starters. Even though we didn't score any goals, I feel we created some very good chances and it was important for our players to get playing time. Overall I feel that we're making very good progress this preseason.
ahead allow club deadline future great profession progress secure seen senior since spot throughout timing wish
We've seen great progress in Scott throughout his two years with the Fire, so it's unfortunate that the timing of the roster deadline didn't allow us to secure a Senior Roster spot for him. He was a great young profession with our club since day one. I feel he still has a future ahead of him in MLS and wish him all the best.
batteries bonus caught clearly few great guys healthy hit knocks physically rest time wall
I think (the rest was) clearly a bonus for us because we had hit the wall physically and mentally. I think we've caught a great time to get our breath, get our batteries charged, get a few guys back healthy and rest a few guys that had had some knocks and bruises.
although great john player potential saw thank year
I want to thank Will John for his year with us. Although we only saw him for one season, I feel that Will has great potential as a young player in this League.
club defenders great influence last samuel season success thank time wish
I want to thank Samuel Caballero for his professionalism and his time with the club in 2005. He was a great influence on our young defenders last season and I wish him much success with his new opportunity.
easiest exactly great points team three
Clearly, three points today, in a place that has not exactly been the easiest for us to play, is huge. It was a great team effort.
addition competitor diego great thrilled versatile welcome
I'm thrilled to welcome Diego back to Chicago. He's a competitor and versatile player. He'll make a great addition to our roster.
players quality rounds
We feel there are still a lot of quality players in these rounds of the draft, so we did our homework.
both impossible influence measure positive
It would be impossible to measure the positive influence that Jesse has had on our club, both on and off the field.
although both experience felt field impact impossible leadership measure positive time
It would be impossible to measure the positive impact that Jesse has had on our club, both on the field and off. Although his leadership and experience will be missed, we felt it was the right time to make this decision.
andy debut felt forward goal good guys played understand vice
Andy Herron's debut was a beauty. He's a real forward and good around the goal and that combination played out real well. From day one he felt very comfortable here and our guys got to understand him pretty quickly, and vice versa.
blend five good leadership looking road shooting strong talent trip veterans
We want all 27 points. Twenty-seven would be great. We're going out there to win. Realistically, when the road trip is over, I'd like at least five wins, to be over .500. So yeah, we're shooting to take at least 15 points. We're not looking for draws. We have good leadership in our veterans and a strong blend of good young talent to win.
ahead behind function game games guys knowing manage quick study
We should have killed the first game off, and we know it. Knowing how to manage games when you are ahead or behind is a function of experience. I think our guys are a quick study though.
