Herculez Gomez Quotations

Goals will lift you up or bring you down. They're going to kill you, those goals.

Chris Albright played in a pretty great ball. ... It was just sitting up there and this is what dreams are made of. . . (Winning the Cup) is a big let out of frustration, a big sigh of relief. It's for the fans.

It definitely made me take a step back. It humbled me and showed me how much more I needed to improve or mentally maybe I wasn't there. I sharpened up my game. I was really young and I'm still growing mentally and still learning.

They're weak on the counter attack. They don't defend well when players are going at them. That's what we have to do -- set the precedent and take it to them.

I'm definitely, besides the guys collecting cans, the poorest guy here.

Five minutes was my claim to fame. I didn't know if I would get another shot.

Great shot - although I don't think De Rosario even knew where he was hitting it, ... He just struck it and what a goal. It's going to take the life out of any team. But we have to respond better. We can't just expect things to get better because we're playing in the Home Depot Center.

I thought we started off great, but goals will do that. They'll help your team or they'll crush it, and today it crushed us. Dempsey scored and took the wind out of our sails. It was almost like we were stuck in second gear and they were running on all cylinders.

They're going to come at me, ... I suffered five fouls.

Their strength is that they have a very creative attack. Chris Rolfe, I'm one of his biggest fans. I think he's a great player. If we don't lock it up back there he can do a lot of damage.
