Fernando Clavijo Players Quotations

I think he could be one of the biggest-profile players the Colorado Rapids have ever had. He's not 37 or 38. He just turned 32, so it's outstanding for us.

I think tonight was probably our best game of the year. We kept the ball very well and we were solid. We have 22 new players and the guys needed time to adjust to each other.

I think this year, the players have interacted not only outside the field, but inside the field. We have good soccer players who have a good mind for the game. They executed together and we have to make sure they put it out during the regular season.

Sometimes the kids only think about making the team. Now there are a lot of players coming in who want to make a difference.

Anytime you have an opportunity to bring players of this caliber, you have to pull the trigger right away.

You know, Joe (Cannon) is one of the great goalkeepers in the league. But we have a roster full of players and they need to stay on top of their job. I thought Byron was very good. I think that he is young and has enormous shoes to fill whenever Joe Cannon is out.
