THIERRY HENRY
"There were things to rectify from the first game. Our control over the ball was a lot better today. This tournament will benefit those who make the least mistakes. On our end, from a defensive standpoint, we need to rework a few things. The way we moved the ball was positive though. We created a lot of chances in the second half. Emanuel Maciel in midfield and Romell Quioto had a huge game."
"We need to stay focused and apply ourselves. A tournament has that effect on players. The way we played between the lines was very good."
SAMUEL PIETTE
"It's disappointing not to gain points today, but we need to think about the long run as well. These games count for the season, so we can't afford to lose points just because we might be out of the tournament. We need to play every game like it's our last. We need to build off the good things we did today and look at ourselves in the mirror to rectify what we did wrong, because we conceded some goals too easily today."
ROMELL QUIOTO
"These are plays we've been working on in training repeatedly, and the coach has been insisting I make these movements into those open spaces. Today it worked out well, but we need to keep working. I watch a lot of video with the coach concerning my movement and it's been very influential to my success in Montreal."
