defense field jeff keeps
Jeff hasn't scored yet, but for his side, just Jeff being on the field keeps their defense honest.
behind casual somebody tight urgency
I still think he was a little too casual at times. There has to be more urgency when you have to get behind somebody and get tight on somebody.
best card gets smartest yellow
I think the smartest thing to do would be to not use Freddy. If he gets another yellow card he will be out for second-round match. So I think the best thing to do would be to give him a rest.
again finding five fourth games lose played playing time ways win won year
We're not playing poorly. Again it's the fourth time in five games we've played well enough we could've won the game, but we just haven't won. We just have to find ways to win games, what's been going on most of the year is we're finding ways to lose games.
against backs freddy good strike tough wall
They had our backs up against the wall a lot of the time, but we were able to get the strike from Freddy at the end to make the difference. It's good to know we've advanced, but we still have to concentrate on Spain, which will be a tough test.

If you are an opponent watching our game film, what are you going to do? You're going to higher pressure us and make us try and cough the ball up. So we have to get better at not coughing the ball up under pressure.
bad build definitely guys
We definitely competed. It's frustrating. You feel bad for guys because you feel they competed for 90-plus minutes, but you didn't come away with a point. It's something we can definitely build on.
difficult good last san team
It's not going to be easy. We know it's going to be a difficult challenge; San Jose was a very good team last year.

They came out and pressured hard in the first half, and then kind of lost their legs a little bit in the second half, and we had two new groups.
