Quote of the Week:
"We have been working. After our game against Nashville [SC], we had a couple of days off to refresh after our efforts there and the emotions the game brought us. We have kept a good pace and have worked on some details towards what is coming with Columbus [Crew]. We are waiting for some players that are out on National Team duty, but we are ready. This week, we have been a bit more intense in our preparations. The boys are good and healthy."
