Veljko Paunovic, Chicago Fire Head Coach
On the match:
“First, I want to wish Clint Dempsey a full recovery as soon as possible. I think he’s very important for this country, for the soccer here, and for the Sounders. That’s our first wish.
On the game:
"I’m really disappointed and sad for our guys because we did a huge job to play against one of the best teams the way we wanted to play. I think the game plan went well, but unfortunately we conceded that goal. It hasn’t happened too many times this year on set pieces.
