You can't let the ball bounce like that. Something like that can cost us this tournament,

The thing that's on my mind now is the (United-Galaxy) game. It grounds us a little bit.

It's big for our confidence, it's big for our heads, ... and hopefully it will get something started for us again.

It's a huge cup, there are lots of historical teams here, and it puts up against them, to see how far we can go. D.C. United isn't new to these competitions, though. We've won a couple. It'd be good to be part of that again this year.

We know we've got to come in and get more than a 0-0 tie, and it's going to be a big task for us. But I think we're up for it, we know what we're against. We can get a result.

Brian can cover so much of the field, ... He's very calm out there. He plays hard, but he doesn't have that anger to him. That's who he is. He's a quiet person off the field, but when it comes game time, he wants to win more than anybody else.
