View Photo »Me and all the guys knew if it came down to penalty kicks, we were confident, just going back to last week we handled business in Chicago ... But I really think we could have won this in regulation. We were that good in the second half.
The penalty kick I hit like any penalty kick ... I made sure (Salt Lake keeper Nick Rimando) was going the other way, and I closed my body – I just put it in the air. You know, it’s probably due to tired legs and not concentrating in that moment.

Going back to last week, we handled business in Chicago ... But I really think we could have won this one in regulation.
It's a fantastic atmosphere ... I'd much rather be playing L.A. than Seattle here. To think that Sunday will be that rowdy makes it great and special.
I've been in there for the first game against the Sounders ... I also played there when D.C. United played Real Madrid and that place was sold out. I think Sunday is going to be that same way. It's going to be rocking. It makes us play just a little bit better and makes us appreciate the sport here in A...
We're very excited to get to Seattle ... It's been our goal since the beginning of the season. I think right now the guys are ready. We've got our rhythm going and we're confident, especially after winning in Columbus and Chicago. We're excited to get there and play a good match against the Galaxy.
