Philadelphia Union Head Coach Jim Curtin
Opening statement…
Overall a good team performance from the group. I thought that, you know, our advantage was that Seattle had a six-hour flight and it's 10:00 AM to their bodies right now. When people talk about how difficult it is on the road in this league because of the size of the country, the travel, that was our real advantage, so we wanted to start the game fast, I thought the players really executed that part of things, put them under the gun early. Made [Nicolás] Lodeiro, who's an incredible attacking player, made him have to defend a little bit more than he probably would've liked, created some chances.
