Sigi Schmid Good Quotations

I didn't agree with that statement then and I don't agree with it now. For us, the way we played tonight ... 0-0 would have been good for us today. To snag a victory makes it all the more satisfying.

Frankie needs to step up in a more vocal leadership role, off as well as on the field. He has always been viewed as the surfer dude. He is not going to quit being that guy, but I need him to be Frankie the surfer dude who is also a good leader. I think Frankie is ready for that.

He's bigger than people realize and a little bit faster than people realize as well. His desire is good and his work rate is good. He is still in a phase where he's learning.

We need to improve on our concentration. We made a stride forward in the second half and proved that we can play good soccer. We should have been leading at halftime. We have to become mentally stronger.

We played much better in the first half. I thought Chad's goal was a good one off the free kick. We should have scored a couple more. I thought Chad Marshall was very good. Can't say the same about everyone that played in the second half, giving up soft goals.

We are very excited about the addition of Tim Ward. He is a very good young player with a bright future ahead of him and he can play a number of different positions.
