Brian can cover so much of the field, ... He's very calm out there. He plays hard, but he doesn't have that anger to him. That's who he is. He's a quiet person off the field, but when it comes game time, he wants to win more than anybody else.

It's a huge cup, there are lots of historical teams here, and it puts up against them, to see how far we can go. D.C. United isn't new to these competitions, though. We've won a couple. It'd be good to be part of that again this year.

You can't let the ball bounce like that. Something like that can cost us this tournament,

We know we've got to come in and get more than a 0-0 tie, and it's going to be a big task for us. But I think we're up for it, we know what we're against. We can get a result.

I got a piece of it, but I was thinking it had enough power on it to go in, ... I'm looking back there and just hoping someone gets to it pretty quickly.

[The result ended United's winning streak at four and its unbeaten run at six, and provided the Galaxy with its first victory outside Southern California in nearly 14 months. (Los Angeles's two previous road wins this year were against Chivas, a lowly Los Angeles-based expansion team.)] We were flying high for a while, ... and this grounds us a little bit.
