Anytime you come into a match like this, of this magnitude, as a rookie, you really just don't grasp the entire concept of it. Mentally this year, I feel 100 times more prepared than last year, knowing what to expect.

From the start of the game it was fun. That was a big thing. We wanted to have fun and have a good time playing.

The big thing about Bob is that he brings the right mentality to the team. That's the biggest thing that has changed since day one.

It's going to be a great time, we'll go out there and interact with the fans first-hand. It should be a good event, the winners of the tournament get to go to the World Cup, so there's an incentive for them. It's all about promoting the World Cup. It's the most viewed [single-sport] event in the world, and it's only a couple months away, so it should be a fun weekend for everyone.

In New York we had the lead and here we had the lead. We need to learn how to keep the lead and get a big result on the road. Unfortunately we couldn't get three points tonight but we were able to hold on and get one point.

We need to be able to learn to keep a lead. When we learn to do that, then we'll be able to win 1-0, 2-1, whatever. Until we learn how to keep a lead, it's going to be the same stuff.
