Frank Walter Yallopis an English-born Canadian former professional soccer player and current head coach and president of soccer operations for Arizona United SC of the United Soccer League... (wikipedia)
I am looking forward to these two weeks with the squad. It's not often we get a chance to have our players for an extended training camp prior to a friendly, so from that perspective, this is a welcome opportunity.
He does everything correctly. For his size, he's great in the air. He's a hard worker, good passer and a great finisher. Just a very, very good player.
When he plays well, we play well, ... He needs a supporting cast and let's be honest, they set him up to succeed. So you've got to hand it to our guys. But he makes the difference.
I thought we had a great performance and got a great result in a foreign country. We changed our system ... and flooded the midfield to try to spring our forwards wide. It allowed us to attack and defend effectively.
I thought we broke well and created some great chances. As a coach, you can't ask for more.
Landon has a knack of knowing when it really matters, ... Is that a sense of timing or a really good player? I don't know what it is but he has it: 2001 playoff run, playoff run this year, 2002 World Cup, we could go on and on and on. For the big games he'd done it.
Over a season, he's very much the most consistent goalkeeper in the league.
Pat's always a guy you can rely on.
That consistency now is allowing him to really flourish and do his thing. He looks a fantastic player right now.
That was probably the best game I've ever been involved in. It was definitely the best game I've seen in MLS history.

We played against a good team that has a lot of offensive ability and pace. We played the way we should and the players can walk out and hold their heads high.
We want to play a style that counterattacks. I feel we have good ball possession and speed that can generate good scoring chances.
They are a quality team with some very good players, so we are excited about the challenge.
They're a talented team that's going to create scoring chances. We'll watch the video, but know that they'll come at us wide and through the middle. We played well against them at last year's Gold Cup.
It's an amazing squad they've got. Our guys really dug in, hung in there for a little bit and started to play their football. Basically we played very well and the crowd was appreciative of it and they were pleased for us.
He serves a good ball and is a good passer, ... We have a few things to work on but he can play football.
He's really matured over the last 18 months, with Canada and with San Jose,
