• FC Dallas Head Coach Steve Morrow: "It was a disappointing way to finish the season. I don't think we played well tonight. I thought too many guys had a bad game and we can't afford that. The game meant something different to two teams tonight. It meant a lot to Kansas City and it didn't mean too much to us and I thought that showed in the performances. We're going to remain very positive, we're going to have a positive week of training and we're going to be ready come playoff time next week."
