definitely growing humbled improve maybe mentally needed step
It definitely made me take a step back. It humbled me and showed me how much more I needed to improve or mentally maybe I wasn't there. I sharpened up my game. I was really young and I'm still growing mentally and still learning.
beach both felt field legs player players teams
You ever play beach soccer? ... That's what it felt like. I don't think there was one player on both teams who didn't come out dog-tired from that field. Legs were heavy. The players on the field were cramping.
ball chris goal great half picked remember saw saying tried
Chris picked his head, saw me, and chipped me a great ball. It was half the goal himself. The ball was just up there. All I remember was saying 'go for it'. I tried it, and it went in the back of the net.
almost crush crushed gear goals help running second stuck team today took wind
I thought we started off great, but goals will do that. They'll help your team or they'll crush it, and today it crushed us. Dempsey scored and took the wind out of our sails. It was almost like we were stuck in second gear and they were running on all cylinders.
although expect great hitting home knew life playing respond shot struck
Great shot - although I don't think De Rosario even knew where he was hitting it, ... He just struck it and what a goal. It's going to take the life out of any team. But we have to respond better. We can't just expect things to get better because we're playing in the Home Depot Center.

Goals will lift you up or bring you down. They're going to kill you, those goals.

We've established that rivalry with San Jose, and we'd like to keep it going. It's good for the league, it's good for both teams, and it's fun.

I wouldn't be able to do this without help. Without help, I'm probably in Vegas working or going to school.

I'm definitely, besides the guys collecting cans, the poorest guy here.
colorado control dallas focus patiently sit soccer wait watching
I'm a soccer fan, so I'll be watching to see what's going on around the league. But I'm not going to put too much focus on that. We can't control what Dallas or Colorado does. Now we've got to sit patiently and wait our turn.
biggest chris creative great lock strength
Their strength is that they have a very creative attack. Chris Rolfe, I'm one of his biggest fans. I think he's a great player. If we don't lock it up back there he can do a lot of damage.
chris dreams great played sigh sitting
Chris Albright played in a pretty great ball. ... It was just sitting up there and this is what dreams are made of. . . (Winning the Cup) is a big let out of frustration, a big sigh of relief. It's for the fans.
chicago field played sure
I'm pretty sure Chicago played on the same field we did.
five suffered
They're going to come at me, ... I suffered five fouls.
