definitely hoping infectious losing winning
We're definitely hoping so. I think winning is infectious and losing is as well.
asking bad ball bounce definitely plus turn
We definitely competed. I feel bad for the guys. They competed for 90 plus minutes. You're just asking for a break, just for a ball to bounce your way. That's all it's going to take to turn it around.
bad ball bounce couple definitely feels frustrated games good happening punished teams work
We feel -- and probably Chivas feels the same way too -- you definitely get punished for your mistakes. Good teams make the ball bounce their way and sometimes we get frustrated with it not happening for us. We've had a couple games where we've said, 'Nothing bad is going to happen, we're going to make our own breaks,' but to actually say that and then play that way, it doesn't always work out.
definitely match pride team themselves work
They said they didn't play 'United soccer,' ... They pride themselves on their work ethic. They're definitely a hard-working team and we'll have to match that.
definitely eliminate felt played road since throughout
I definitely felt that we competed throughout and I think we can do even better with that. We just have to eliminate mistakes. If you can do that, you're always in every game, especially on the road. I think that is as competitive as we've played on the road since I've been here.
ball deal definitely moment win
It was definitely disappointing to see how they scored. We should have done better at that moment to win the ball and deal with the situation, but other than that we did really well defensively.
basically definitely move proves tough
It just proves basically how tough it's going to be for roster spots. It's definitely going to be competitive as we move forward.
common definitely loss puts tells
A loss definitely kind of puts us out. Not mathematically, but common sense tells us we're out.
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.
attack ball fight gave lost principle stood watched win
I thought we gave the ball away. I thought we stood there and watched them attack our goal. The first principle of defending, once the ball is lost you fight to win it back, and we didn't fight to win it back.
games players senior time younger
Our younger players are getting better. That time in the senior games helps.
arena football looking maybe players start
Maybe some of our players should start looking at arena football. They are having tryouts soon.

Maybe some of our players should start looking at arena football, ... They are having tryouts soon.
addition looking player somewhere teams three trying whatever
With the addition of these three players, we're a better team. And that's the excitement. And if we can find another player somewhere on in the season, we'll look at that too. You have to keep looking. Other teams are still looking for players. Teams are still trying to do whatever they have to do to get better.
