Mo Johnston Team Quotations

Right now, I don't care if we get yellow cards. I want this group to be nasty as a team because sometimes we're too soft. And tonight I got a feeling when I was on the sideline that New England kept (complaining) to the referee. That was a good sign because we were playing tough.

I am extremely excited about the challenge that lies ahead. We have three games left, and my goal is to get this team into the play-offs.

Credit D.C., they're a good team and they come forward well. The second goal was a deflection. It was going straight at Tony and it came off Jeff and there's nothing much you can do.

Bob is a good friend, and now I'm picking up the pieces. But it's my opportunity to move the team forward. It's an emotional day, tough on the players, tough on the staff.

We didn't hold the lead and I told our team we should have come away with three points. We closed up shop and then we nearly gave up a goal at the end with Chris Klein. We can't afford to do that.

We are excited to add another quality striker to our club. Jean Philippe is a strong, quick forward who is very good in the air. He has proven he can score goals in this league and we believe he can contribute to our team immediately.

The way they play, they're a strong attacking team. They're a strong unit, a good team and we respect that. But that's as far as it will go.

It's painful because we played so well for a good part of the game. It's not over though. We know we still have a chance and it has to start against D.C. They are a good team but we have to play like this is our last chance, because it could be.

There were times that they've shown they can do it easily but there's times that they're not on the same page. There's times the two of them are in the same spot. I know where this team is going, I know what I want. There's certain things I don't like but at the end of the day they can do it.

There will be certain Cosmos fans here just for them. They had a wonderful team and you can never take that away from them.
