again count depend desire financial knew last season spoken
From the end of last season I had spoken with Carlos of my desire, and that of the organization, of being able to count on his services. We knew that everything would depend on the negotiations and the financial deal. I have to again reiterate my satisfaction at having him for two more years.
acquired best career experience good greater help knew north opportunity players seen sure
He is a good player. We've seen him grow, we knew of his career and we're sure of his ability. We had to give him the opportunity to play in our team. He is one of the best players in the north of Texas. Now that he's already returned, we know that we've acquired greater experience and we're going to see it in action. He'll be able to help us in our cause.
chances close couple dominated dragged few gave goal half hard knew minutes night ourselves played toll took toward twice wednesday
First half we dominated the game. We had a couple chances (and) the first goal we knew was going to be important. We dragged ourselves back twice from behind; we showed a lot of character. ... We played 120 hard minutes on Wednesday night and I think it took its toll on us toward the end. We couldn't get close enough to them at times and we gave up a few chances.
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.
boys came earn few knew survive
I knew when the first one came it wasn't going to be easy. It was never going to be a three- or four-goal cakewalk - we knew we were going to have to earn it and survive a few moments. But I thought the boys were magnificent - unbelievable tonight.
against build knew momentum needed time win
Any time that you get a win it's a boost, and we needed that win against Chicago, at home, there were a lot of positives. But more importantly we knew that it was important to build on that win and not let the momentum go.
general half kenny moved needed passing second sharp team worked
I thought they did well. The second half we were better, we moved it quicker. Kenny (Cooper) got his goal, they worked hard. I just didn't think our passing in general was for the whole team as sharp as it needed to be in the first 45 minutes.
boys good league strong
I thought the boys were magnificent, ... They come to compete, they come to play from the first whistle. . . . We're a good league, a strong league with a lot of good players.

I think we'll strike gold with more than one of them. We got some very good players. We're very happy. We come in with a list of players that we had targeted, and we got them all. We're absolutely delighted with that. Now it's time for the work to begin.
bobby forward front good great job open options played playoffs solid steve three
Just having a look at some different options. Steve played out there (at right back) in L.A. and did a good job and he did a good job tonight. I thought Bobby was great in front of him, he could have scored another two or three he got forward well. It's a more solid look, just to have a look at it going into the playoffs and just open our options up.
belt defending experience four last next year
Last year at times our defending let us down, not only the back four but as a team. We've got another year of experience under our belt for some of them and that's good. They've just got to take the next step.
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.
decisions good position spot stand throughout tough
We have some tough decisions to make this week. But I think we're in a good spot that we have those tough decisions to make and it will stand as a good position to be in throughout the season.
great takes
I think it will be great. It has always been a great rivalry. But now, it's a whole new dimension. This takes it to a whole different level.
