It was one of our goals, to start out strong and start quick.

I think we all sat in our hotel rooms (after the semifinal) and sulked. Once we got in the locker room, we let it go. Wherever we finished is better than people thought we'd do.

I thought it was better for us not to give them a chance. I just didn't think we needed to play defense.

Overall, I was happy with our performance.

One of the glories of New York is its ethnic food, and only McDonald's and Burger King equalize us all.

They put these staff out to be handling these kids when they are not completely trained for all aspects of the duty.
