LOS ANGELES GALAXY 5, FC DALLAS 1
FC DALLAS HEAD COACH STEVE MORROW
On the game:
"It was an embarrassing performance. We're all ashamed of ourselves in the locker room and, ultimately, I'll take responsibility for that as a coach. But, obviously, we're going through a rough time at the moment. Results aren't going our way. We'll get back to some hard work. We've got a very, very good group of players, a talented group of players that have got the right attitude and are going to fight for each other. We're going to work very hard to turn ourselves around and get a win in the next game."
FC DALLAS MIDFIELDER PABLO RICCHETTI
On the game:
"It was a bad game. We weren't at the level that we expect of ourselves. So now we have to work and get ourselves back to the level that we are capable of."
LA GALAXY HEAD COACH RUUD GULLIT
On the game:
"I think as a team we played excellent and showed that the game plan worked. Knowing also how they (Dallas) play, I think that some key moments, a key factor for us, was David on the outside. Of course, also important for us, was Alvaro (Pires) came back. In the midfield with a guy like that, and when you can use people in the right positions, it makes it hard for them (Dallas) to play their game. We could play our game and I think the first half was excellent."
LA GALAXY MIDFIELDER DAVID BECKHAM
On the game:
"I think it was an important game for us, especially after the last game where we lost at home. But we came into this game; we were refreshed; we were ready for it. We organized all week and prepared all week for this game, and we knew how good they were and how they played. But I think we started off well. In the first half, especially, we played some really good football, we kept the ball, and we played some really good football."
LA GALAXY FORWARD EDSON BUDDLE
On the game:
"Today was good for us. We did well in the first half and did a good job with the ball. We were capitalizing on good possession all day and that was good."
"The pitch is a very good pitch to play on. Today, we were able to find each other early and move the ball well. We played a little bit differently today as far as our formation. We used that very well today and want to continue that on the road, which is tough."
