Greg Vanney Quotations

If we can win something at the end of the year that is something Oscar can take with him forever. That is ultimately the most important thing.

For us right now the focus is definitely going to be on results. If we can come out and definitely put together a good performance and do all the things we need to do then you gain a little psychological effect with the fact that you are going into the Open Cup Final on Wednesday. But, we go a game at a time right now since it is the end of the season. We just need to focus on taking another step forward with our team and making ourselves better and get prepared for the final push in the playoffs.

I think it's a great test for us early in the year. It will give us a chance to once again see where we are against a team that I feel is one of the best teams in the league along with us.

I think you can only have a revenge game in the playoffs. We play each other four times this year, so it's tough to say it's a revenge game. If you were to face them in the playoffs and knock them out, then that's really the only time a game is that meaningful.

I think a lot of it has to do with concentration. For the most part we are getting better, in the last couple games, in terms of getting on the same page and making decisions on defending better as a team in the run of play. The goal we gave up last week against Salt Lake was a set piece goal. We gave up a few of those in the last couple of games. We have to challenge headers and we are clearing out balls that fall to the ground or fall to our feet.

I think that's one of the real strengths of this team is that we have two full teams worth of guys that we can slip into the lineup and still feel comfortable out there, and that was shown out there today.

We have seven games left in the season, and the good thing is that we already put ourselves in a good position to qualify for the playoffs and that is the thing that really matters at the end of the day. So we have seven games to figure out and turn around the bad luck or misfortune that we have so we'll build off the positive finish and go from there.

We need to get sharper on the attack and the final third, because when it comes closer to the playoffs and obviously the Open Cup game next week, the difference is going to be one play here or there - being able to finish that one chance or making that big play on the defensive end that keeps us in the game.

It was an exciting game for television. A little too exciting for us. We'd rather it had been 3-0. But we'll take it, and we'll move on.

It is what it is. The only thing I can do as a player is to continue to work on my game and improve myself.

It's got to be cleaned up, because we can't win a championship this way.

The ball had eyes and found its way through a bunch of people and inside the net. It was kind of strange for today, in a game where it seemed like every single shot hit somebody, this one kind of found its way through.

It'll change things in Dallas quite a bit, because as I walk around in Frisco and the malls and stores everybody's excited about the stadium and the team. I'm looking forward to it.

For that to happen to him twice in one game is very, very, very rare. That doesn't happen twice in a year, much less twice in one game. But that's soccer, that's the way it is.
