Herculez Gomez Quotations

Chris picked his head, saw me, and chipped me a great ball. It was half the goal himself. The ball was just up there. All I remember was saying 'go for it'. I tried it, and it went in the back of the net.

Great shot - although I don't think De Rosario even knew where he was hitting it, ... He just struck it and what a goal. It's going to take the life out of any team. But we have to respond better. We can't just expect things to get better because we're playing in the Home Depot Center.

Goals will lift you up or bring you down. They're going to kill you, those goals.

We've established that rivalry with San Jose, and we'd like to keep it going. It's good for the league, it's good for both teams, and it's fun.

I wouldn't be able to do this without help. Without help, I'm probably in Vegas working or going to school.

I thought we started off great, but goals will do that. They'll help your team or they'll crush it, and today it crushed us. Dempsey scored and took the wind out of our sails. It was almost like we were stuck in second gear and they were running on all cylinders.

It definitely made me take a step back. It humbled me and showed me how much more I needed to improve or mentally maybe I wasn't there. I sharpened up my game. I was really young and I'm still growing mentally and still learning.

You ever play beach soccer? ... That's what it felt like. I don't think there was one player on both teams who didn't come out dog-tired from that field. Legs were heavy. The players on the field were cramping.

Five minutes was my claim to fame. I didn't know if I would get another shot.

They're weak on the counter attack. They don't defend well when players are going at them. That's what we have to do -- set the precedent and take it to them.

There were about 100 players on two small fields at Southwestern College. It was interesting, a lot of weird drills. I was fortunate to get a call back and was asked if I wanted to train with the team. I stayed in a Holiday Inn and trained with the team.

They're going to come at me, ... I suffered five fouls.

They chose their own destiny. They play us. Let's bring it. They're a good team. We've got to come out with everything.

Their strength is that they have a very creative attack. Chris Rolfe, I'm one of his biggest fans. I think he's a great player. If we don't lock it up back there he can do a lot of damage.

I'm definitely, besides the guys collecting cans, the poorest guy here.

I'm pretty sure Chicago played on the same field we did.

I'm a soccer fan, so I'll be watching to see what's going on around the league. But I'm not going to put too much focus on that. We can't control what Dallas or Colorado does. Now we've got to sit patiently and wait our turn.

Chris Albright played in a pretty great ball. ... It was just sitting up there and this is what dreams are made of. . . (Winning the Cup) is a big let out of frustration, a big sigh of relief. It's for the fans.
