TORONTO HEAD COACH MO JOHNSTON
Thoughts on game:
"I think the amount of chances we had tonight, we should have had 3 points. I felt we were the better team. We addressed the goalkeeping situation, it's unfortunate for Greg Sutton but Stamatopolous came in and performed well under the circumstances, and we're looking forward to him coming in and establishing himself to the end of the season."
On if players responded after he called out some of his players after last game:
"I think they responded you saw for yourself. They competed for the full 90 minutes, we should have won the game but that's the way soccer is. Some times you win some games without playing well, and then sometimes you play really well and you don't get nothing from the game, but the guys preformed very well tonight and I felt some of our passing movement was very good.
TORONTO MIDFIELDER CARL ROBINSON
On much of a distraction Beckham was:
"You know, it was a game of football. Obviously with David Beckham coming in to Toronto it was a big media thing and stuff like that. But at the end of the day we can't worry about that we focused on our game, and we played well we could win the game. We did play well but we didn't win the game, but we shut that out of our minds earlier in the week and people want to see him he's a world class superstar, he's a world class player. Fortunately for us he didn't play tonight and I'm glad he didn't play you know, hopefully he will play next week, people want to pay to watch him and pay to watch quality players and that's what he is."
On why they are struggling to score:
"Yah, I don't know why. Jeff Cuninghams's been injured, Danny Dichio's been injured, they're two very good players for us. But having said that Andrea Lombardo came in tonight and done very, very well, Sammy's (Collin Samuel) a centre forward and played wide right....but we're not worried about that, it was good we put in this performance after last week against Chicago."
TORONTO GOALKEEPER KENNY STAMATOPOULOS
If he was nervous...his first start:
"It's kinda tough when you get here two days before and don't really know anybody, you know a couple players here and there, but...it's tough."
On possibility of facing Beckham:
"There were was talk you know, I was hoping he was going to be in the game to say I played against him...but maybe next time."
GALAXY HEAD COACH FRANK YALLOP
Thoughts on game:
"In the end it's good to get a point, I thought Toronto were very good tonight. We struggled to get the grip of the game to be honest. They had some great chances to score, but they didn't and that was important that we had a clean sheet. We rode our luck obviously in some situations, with goalkeeping. You know you move on and we've got a tough game on Thursday and we at least got a point out of this match and we move on to the next one.
"We didn't move the ball well as a team you know...in the Dallas game we did that and we did pretty well going forward. We struggled with our play tonight we just didn't really get going. I felt that Toronto pressured us pretty well and shut us down when we tried to get out and play. They did a good job"
GALAXY DEFENDER ANTE JAZIC
Thoughts on game:
"I think we didn't play the best today but we battled. The whole team played as a unit, compact, I thought our attitude was very good, we could of played better absolutely but a point is good especially here in this hostile environment. The crowd was excellent the pitch was difficult, the artificial surface was the first I've played on all year but in general we're happy with a point, we can build off this."
GALAXY MIDFIELDER LANDON DONOVAN
Thoughts in general:
"We didn't play super well, but when it mattered we defended well, Joe was good again, and it was a far cry from Tuesday's game but we'll take it."
Talks about atmosphere here:
"It was similar to a European environment, it was good when stretches of the game when they were playing well it was good, it quieted down in other parts of the game but it was a lot of fun. I mean their fans are terrific they definitely helped their team, they got really behind for the first 15-20 minutes they came out flying.
