Eddie Pope Quotations

It's a huge honor to receive this award and is obviously not possible without my teammates and coaches, ... Even though it's an individual honor, it never means more than the true goal of our team winning an MLS Cup.

I don't think we quit. I don't think I quit. . . . I'm sure, from a coaching standpoint, it looked like we quit.

I know I didn't quit, ... I think in the second half there wasn't one aspect of the game I think we did correctly. I'm sure from the coaches' standpoint it looks like the team is quitting.

He's so good on the ball. Everyone is confident giving him the ball. No matter how much pressure he's under, you know he's not going to lose it. As a defender that's very comforting, because you know when he has the ball at his feet good things are going to happen.

You never know what's going to happen. But I thought he played well overall. It was good for him to get a cap under his belt and move forward.

He showed he has a lot versatility and he can play in different spots on the field. You can tell his confidence is continuing to grow, and that's good for us. The more guys you can have in national team camp the better.

I don't think I hurt my chances at all. I never thought I would have played in any World Cup(s).

We're just trying to get better, ... That's our goal right now, is to continue to get better and to improve individually and as a group. We're definitely focused on that, and on finishing the season strong.

The problems were all over the field. The team has to get through 11 people.
