Quotes

SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES HEAD COACH FRANK YALLOP

On the game:

"We just did not a have a good day today, especially in the first half. They had enough chances to be up two or three goals at the half. We had a good spell in the second half, but that second goal just killed off the game."

On consistency:

"We need to be more consistent game to game. We were not sharp enough today and I am not going to blame the conditions. They were able to create chances despite the wind."

SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES DEFENDER NICK GARCIA

On game:

"It was not a good day for us. The conditions were the same for both teams and they adjusted to them better than we did. We need to play better and create chances to get some goals."

SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES MIDFIELDER SIMON ELLIOTT

On conditions:

"We need to be prepared for games like this. They adjusted well to the conditions and we didn't. You have to be ready for a game with a lot of turnovers and transition play on a day like this. They came out ready and created opportunities and we were slow to the ball."
