Everything was positive except for the final result, and that's the only thing that we're down about now.

I think it's huge just to get him back on the field. His leadership, his determination, his abilities, his threat of scoring goals, it's just exciting to have him back. We've missed him.
cancel
They canceled our game, ... We didn't cancel it.
bury matter pick pressure spot
Gomez, Jaime, Freddy, they can play some ball. If you don't put pressure on them, they're going to pick their spot and they're going to bury it. It really doesn't matter who was in goal.

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.
