“I think we gave Dallas the possibility to beat us. We weren’t able to score in the first half, but we were very close and all of Dallas’ possibilities were our mistakes. We gave away a penalty, even though the kick was soft it was there, then on the second goal we had the ball and we gave it away to the Dallas player who crossed it and then they scored. In the first half we gave them the pass that left [Dominique] Badji one on one against [David] Bingham. We need to be better, more focused because we can’t make those mistakes because we lose the game.”

On the loss against FC Dallas…

I felt we were a half-step late and let them take the game pretty well. I think we got tired of chasing at some points and they were able to grow from there. That first goal wasn’t something necessarily earned … that kind of put us on the back foot after that.

Thoughts on the first half…

In the first half, the positive was that we didn’t give up any real chances to them. Except I think they had one luck off our mistake.

On the last 24 hours...

"It’s been a crazy 24 hours. I’ve known for a little bit that I’d get my contract. Next thing I know, they tell me I’m going on a trip to Dallas, so it’s been an emotional 24 hours but in a good way."

On his lone chance of the day...

I thought that I maybe could have taken the shot. I gave it a little pass to Efrain too, though I think it was unlucky that he missed it. That’s a chance that maybe I could learn of in the future — maybe I could have taken the shot, maybe it was the right place.

“It’s been a long, long journey."
