TORONTO FC 4, FC DALLAS 0
TORONTO FC HEAD COACH MO JOHNSTON
On Danny Dichio's injury:
"I'm a little bit concerned, he went for X-rays, maybe get a scan tonight, and then we'll look at it in the morning."
On getting a morale boost before heading out on the road:
"I've been saying it all week, certainly when you come in and you've got one more home game, and then you go on the road for five or six, it's important, it's vital you get 3 points here, and I'm more than comfortable now that this team can win on the road. We have a bunch of guys that are gelling together, we have Tyrone Marshall sitting up in the stands watching and waiting, and we're obviously talking with Collin Samuel."
TORONTO FC MIDFIELDER RONNIE O'BRIEN
On the game:
"We play a pretty tough rough game here and you've got to come and match us; if you don't come and match us in that regard you're not going to beat us. We had a little problem getting over the first 15, 20 minutes in the second half, because the last couple of games we've gave up some goals. We didn't do it today and after about the 70th minute we just got stronger and stronger and we went on to win 4-0, which is a credit to everybody."
TORONTO FC MIDFIELDER CARL ROBINSON
On his first MLS goal:
"We caught them on the break. It was a ball back from Andy Welsh, and Kevin Goldthwaite put in a great ball and I had the easy job: just put my head on it and luckily enough it's gone in."
On the game:
"We knew that it would be a tough game, a difficult game, but it was important we started off well and we did. We have to keep improving on that and we did again today -- so it's pleasing with the result, but it's just the beginning we've set ourselves standards and targets and we've got to build on them now."
FC DALLAS HEAD COACH STEVE MORROW
On the game:
"I thought we started the much better team, for the first 20-25 minutes I thought we were dominating the game, pushing forward and we looked the more dangerous team. We created a few opportunities and we didn't take them. I think we have to do a much better job of when we're dominating the game and making the most of our opportunities and take our chances when they come along. We didn't do that and got punished for it."
On the heavy defeat:
"It was one of those days you know, I don't like to make excuses here but you know I will defend my players today, we've had two tough games in the space of 3 days on the road in Salt Lake on turf -- then a short time back to Dallas then having to back up here and play on turf, as well, on a hot afternoon. We'll just move on and forget about it."
FC DALLAS FORWARD CARLOS RUIZ
On playing in Gold Cup and then arriving quickly for this game:
"Steve Morrow wants me here, because we (Guatemala) played against Canada in Boston and its very close, so I flew this morning and was here ready to play the game for my team."
