He was so revered by his teammates as well as other major league players. He might have been the most respected player at the time, and I think that's the ultimate compliment.

You can't say you're embarrassed because they're major-league players as well. It's just one of those things you can't explain. They've played better than us. They deserved to beat us. They've played better in almost every area of the game.

I want to apologize to my teammates, the fans, the club and Major League Soccer for my actions. What I did was wrong, and I am deeply sorry for what happened. It was a frustrating night and I let the emotions get the best of me.

Rodney, ... is one of the best players in the league.

I'm in the major league now.

It's important to realize that we have two special major-league players here. I kind of want to find playing time for both. It's a wonderful trade off.
