Head coach Eric Quill
On the match tonight\u2026
\u201cI\u2019m extremely proud of my guys. We deserved something from the game, but it comes down to moments. They had one more key moment than we did and they scored from a quality chance, and Lloris made some huge saves for them. I liked the way we executed the game plan. We were front-footed and did everything I asked. I\u2019m happy with how we went about the game. I think our fans should be proud of the direction we\u2019re heading. The guys in the locker room know they can play with anybody, and we\u2019re gaining ground. We may have had a few moments in front of goal that we could have finished, but I have no complaints. I don\u2019t like to lose, but we were the aggressors and really controlled the game.\u201d<\/p>\n
On the positives\u2026
\u201cLAFC is a really quality side, and they have the kind of talent this league has been watching for a few years. I\u2019ve seen a lot of teams come here and not do what we did tonight. We were never on our heels; the crowd was into it, and it felt like a long night, but the game flew by for me because I didn\u2019t want it to end. I felt like we were knocking on the door. Our guys looked like they were enjoying themselves, fighting hard, and believing in what we were doing. The positives are all over the place. We\u2019re better than being held out of scoring for two games. We created chances, and I really like the team\u2019s performance, how we\u2019re training, and how we approach games like this. We can play with anybody in this league, and I know these guys know it too. I expect huge growth from this game going into next weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n

On the match today\u2026
\u201cWe felt good and felt like we were the protagonists in the game. We created some clear chances, but unfortunately they didn\u2019t go into the net. Despite the loss, which wasn\u2019t what we came here for, I\u2019m pleased with the effort and attitude the team showed. Today\u2019s loss hurts because no one likes to lose, but we\u2019re going to prepare the best we can for the upcoming home games. We\u2019ll give our best and give 100 percent because we have a very good team.\u201d<\/p>\n
Midfielder Ricky Louis
On making his MLS debut\u2026
\u201cOh, it feels great. Unfortunately we got the loss, but it was still an amazing experience. I\u2019m thankful to the coaching staff for letting me be on the field. All glory to God. Just being there, training hard and learning, shows that hard work pays off. I\u2019ve dreamed of this since I was a kid, so I\u2019m happy my debut finally happened. It\u2019s all about working hard, keeping focused, and hoping for the best.\u201d<\/p>\n
