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.

It's a two-way street. They had to come play us, so we have to come down here and play them in their stadium. I think we're fine, we'll get some sleep and be ready for the game tomorrow.

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

They've broken us down this whole year. So I guess we're going to try not to have a high-scoring game for our part, but we're going to try to find the goal as much as we can. They're a very attacking team, and they have some good forwards.

Another week to two weeks, hopefully less than that. I want to make sure I'm 100 percent healthy before I go out there again.

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

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.

We went into that game trying to win it, ... It was an ugly game, but a tie on the road is actually like a win for us. In the 80th minute, you're just thinking to yourself, 'A tie's not too bad.' Then you play a little conservative and get back a little more.
