FC DALLAS POSTGAME QUOTES 
Head Coach Eric Quill
On the match tonight…
“That put us even deeper in a hole. We played some young players and mistakes are going to happen. Mistakes are going to happen unfortunately. But I was proud of the fight that nine guys put on the field in the last 25 minutes. It's not easy. They were chasing, trying whatever they could, trying to find something to get on the score sheet and level the game. So can't fault the desire of those nine guys left on the field. But we gifted them with our decisions, and we were sloppy in too many moments. My biggest frustration is the first 10 minutes of the second half.”

On the red cards issued in the match…
“We got plenty of depth. It is another opportunity for somebody. That's what this is all about. If you haven't had your opportunity lately and you want it, maybe it's there for the taking now. And now, what do you do with it? So 30 man roster, 11 guys play, five subs, right? Things happen where your moments are there for you, and now it's about making the most of that moment. So we'll see who we plug in the field, but we'll take a look at that right now. We gotta get ourselves turned around fast, because Saturday's coming at us fast.” 

Defender Marco Farfan
On the match tonight…
“Yes, obviously it was difficult. We felt we had the game under control, even though we were defending in the first half they couldn't generate much danger, we came out of the second half and we gave them motivation with the goal from the corner kick and from there they started to attack more, but I think it was more about the mentality of how we came out of the second half to try to win the game. Look, today we were 1-0 up, we were playing well. It's knowing how to handle those games when we are winning and keep coming out in the second half at any minute to get the second goal instead of falling back and relaxing.”

Goalkeeper Maarten Paes
On the difference between the first and second half…
“Football is a game of moments. The little margins of conceding goals can cost you the game. The first half, we played a little sloppy, but gave it our all. Second half, we missed some key details in our play, and then the game slipped out of our hands.”   

On another home game on Saturday…
“We need to bring a bounce-back mentality. But we feel a huge responsibility to the fans who come every week to support us and one win is not enough, we feel that. Saturday will be another moment to give everything for them. The red cards don’t help but it’s next man up, we have a good roster and we’ve got to get our heads together and fight for the whole entire organization.”
