the flight of those balls, they almost jump. I think they got Brad [Guzan] a couple of times too."
Said Schmid: "I thought that we did a good job defensively. I thought that we did a good job closing things down, making them play predictable passes, which I thought we did really well. I was pleased with how we played in the first half."
Almost overlooked in the aftermath of the game was the debut of Gino Padula, the recently signed Argentinean defender who played all 90 minutes at left back.
"I think when we start to play more together we will have more confidence," said Padula. "Today they scored two goals from outside the box, so I think we looked solid today." Said Schmid: "I think you can see he is pretty comfortable on the ball, he doesn't panic. He got through all 90 minutes as well and he'll get better, but I thought he was pretty good today."
