I knew as soon as the whistle was blown that Dwayne was going to run over and get it or wrestle it out of somebody's hands.

If Landon Donovan going to L.A. strengthens MLS and carries it on for five or 10 years, I'm all for that, because I believe in American soccer. He had four great years here, and he's a good person. Everyone has a right to live their life the way they want to live their life, so good luck to him.

We have a lot of smart, experienced players on our team and they know how to prepare for each game. They know that if we slow down a little and get in a lull, it is hard to get out of it. It is a long season and we just have to keep working hard and getting results. I know everyone here is motivated to keep playing well and hopefully we can close out the season well.

The guys just continue to play good soccer and that is what is getting results for us. They are confident with each other out there and they always work hard for each other. Tonight we came out well and put a lot into the first half and we could have even been up by more than a goal. The players bring that energy right from the start every week.

I don't think we played our best game tonight. The effort was there but obviously guys can't play brilliant every week. However, we're always playing for three points. The guys push each other for that - they're a proud group.

I think we've exceeded expectations. However, when we have everyone healthy, we have very high expectations and we do expect to win games on the road.
