After two home defeats we had to win this match. I'm very proud of the team, especially our backline who came under fire in the media this week. I believe they silenced the critics.

I was thinking this thing would be over on Saturday and we could just go home on Sunday. If it's not, we'll just have to think of something else.

We prefer to stay home, to be alert and watch the news, not to be in the street and do rallies any more.

He's a really nice guy. I'm never going to forget (the home run), but I don't take it personal.

We came out flat today. We have been at home for a while but it's no excuse for us to come out like we did. They went on an early run and maintained that energy the rest of the game. We have to come out with a better effort next game.

I've loved soccer all my life. I've seen many leagues in Houston, and now I get to come home and see it here. The energy and the fans screaming was just great.
