It is probably the most bittersweet moment in my life to be honest. I am proud of this one, but I am extremely disappointed in our result.

[?] Probably the most bittersweet moment of my life right now, ... Has to be one of the best goals I've ever taken in this league. I'm going to be proud of that one for sure. I'll look back on that one on video for years and years, but I am extremely, extremely disappointed with the result.

While I am extremely disappointed to not be available to my Real Salt Lake teammates as we push for the fourth and final Western Conference playoff spot, I fully expect to come back for the 2006 MLS season quicker and stronger than ever, ... I expect to meet with U.S. Soccer's top surgeon, Dr. Bert Mandelbaum, the week of September 26 to determine my medical course of action.

[?] For me, it has to be mentality, ... We have to go into games with the mentality that we're not going to give away goals in the first 15 minutes. When you give away goals in the first 15 minutes of a game, you're going to find it tough to get results.

Maybe some of it is the fact we're an expansion team, and I cannot stand the fact that's such an easy excuse, ... I'm a member of this team, I'm the leader of this team, and I take responsibility for how the team plays.
