It's a dream of mine. I worked very, very hard for many years. But the reality is, it's slow coming ... I think we're still a generation away from that.

His passion was the Galaxy. In retrospect, it's fitting that we won a championship for him this last year because I think he was so passionate about this team and loved every single player and the organization.

All of that is out of our control. All we have to do right now is sit back and watch and see what happens and prepare for San Jose (in the final week of the regular season).

You can't afford to give up so many of those kinds of opportunities. You have to eliminate the unforced errors and the silly fouls. You have to be very, very careful against a team like San Jose as far as giving away too many opportunities where they can set up free kicks. They're used to this field. They know how to use it.

Certainly the opening game on Saturday is going to be very emotional. How we handle that is going to be very important.

I raised the issue that if you go past four overtimes, that you shouldn't declare co-champions, that it should go to penalties, ... And the first thing that Bruce said was, 'It won't get that far.' That was my first experience with Bruce.

I like the way Cornell Glen finished his chances in the second half. He was very down on himself at halftime and the guys picked him up. He wanted to make a statement in the second half and I think he did.

I hope we can leave all together tonight, with Hamilton's remains, but if I have to stay here to deal with this matter, then I will.

I'm disappointed at some of the chances we gave in the second half. These are the things we have to tidy up, ... Don't get me wrong. I'm very pleased with the result but we have to play better team defense going up and that's something we're going to work on.

Their decision to go after Landon early in the game resulted in two yellow cards. This is a guy who takes a lot of beating when he plays for the Galaxy. I think quality players have to be protected - and tonight, he was protected. That made the difference in the game.
