against came fine game good health saturday solid training week
Zach started Saturday and came through fine with his calf, so his health isn't an issue. He had a good week of training and a good solid game against New England.
box expected form sick time took
Zach got sick in Mexico, and that set him back. Physically, he was out of the box for a little while, and it took him a little time to get back to the form we've expected of him.
break needed road week worst
The bye week wasn't the worst thing. We have a long road stretch, so we needed to break it up.
against building came coming drop easy fact fair given goal guys knew last might points ready task team week
Coming into this building is never an easy task and given the fact that L.A. last week didn't come away with points we knew we had to be ready to play against a team that might show some urgency. They get the goal off a restart but our guys didn't drop their heads. They came back and we equalized. I think it was fair that we got a point off of this game.
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.
add clear columbus given opinion opportunity shame
In my opinion it wasn't a penalty. It's a shame that, you know, when you add it up today, Columbus didn't really have that many clear chances, but were given that opportunity to equalize.
belts half knew numbers proud seat second throw
I knew in the second half we'd have to buckle our seat belts a little bit, because they were going to throw some numbers at us. I was proud of my team.
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.
belief commitment performance seen start team three win
In my three years here, that was the most comprehensive of a team performance as I have ever seen my team play. From start to finish, the concentration, commitment and the belief we could come here and win was evident. I don't know what else I can say.
belief commitment performance proud seen start team three win
In my three years here, that was as comprehensive of a team performance as I've seen my team play. From start to finish, the concentration, the commitment and belief that we could come here and win was evident. . . To come into RFK and win is pretty good. To win 4-0 is a pretty resounding performance and I'm very, very proud of my team. Very proud.
difference good teams
Good teams can make one play into something and they did. They made a play that made the difference for them.
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.
goal hang kept playing proud second
I am proud of my team. After they get the goal in the 79th or so minute, we didn't hang our heads. We kept playing and we got the second goal.
It's just important that we get the right one.
