KANSAS CITY WIZARDS 2, COLORADO RAPIDS 2


KANSAS CITY WIZARDS HEAD COACH CURT ONALFO


On tonight's game:
"We are a team that doesn't give up. I love these guys; they are a tremendous group of players. Even when we were a man down Davy [Arnaud] had a chance at the end. Everything was against us at the end and we still came out with a point. We will not deter from who we are; a team that goes forward, controls the pace of the game and pushes the action. We also will not let outside factors dictate our style of play."


KANSAS CITY WIZARDS FORWARD EDDIE JOHNSON


On his two goals tonight:
"It is always nice to score two goals in a game, but when you don't win it takes that feeling away a little. We always look to push forward and attack as a team. Tonight we did that well even when we were a man down. This was an emotional game and I am a passionate player, but now we have to learn from this and prepare for the next game. Every game matters and we will continue to work hard and not give up."


KANSAS CITY WIZARDS MIDFIELDER DAVY ARNAUD


On potential equalizer in the final minute of stoppage time:
"I should have scored even though it was on my left foot. Looking back I could have taken a touch by him; he had already committed himself. I think he saved it with his heel or something. Either way I should have put it in."


On the team:


"We are a passionate group of players. We want to win games, and we are going to win games."
COLORADO RAPIDS HEAD COACH FERNANDO CLAVIJO
On tonight's game:


"It was rough for both teams. People say the only time you cry about it is when you are losing. I am done worrying about how a game is being reffed. We played the game the way it is supposed to be played. Sometimes the referees blow their whistles too much, sometimes not enough. We try and play the same each game."
COLORADO RAPIDS MIDFIELDER JOVAN KIROVSKI

On tonight's game:
"It was good to get a point on the road. Kansas City is one of the hotter teams in the league right now. I think we were the better team tonight"


COLORADO RAPIDS GOALKEEPER BOUNA COUNDOUL

On the save late in the game:


"I am just glad that I made that save (on Arnaud). My team was really counting on me there. It would have been bad if they have scored. They were down a man and it probably would have been the winner. But that is my job to make saves. Our guys did their job and got a goal, so I had to do mine and make a save."
