HEAD COACH SIGI SCHMID “It’s nice to sit back and watch your team when they are playing well. Today (April 11) we played well, and tomorrow we’ll go back to work so we’ll play well in the second round.” “Right now we will relax and enjoy today.” “Taylor did a great job of making himself available today and it really showed. He took advantage of his scoring opportunities and any time you do that good things are bound to happen.” MIDFIELDER/DEFENDER STEVE CHERUNDOLO “It’s always great to win, particularly in a match this important. Now we will take a few days and get back at it again.” “Many people are shocked by how well we have played, but we haven’t shocked ourselves. We know we are a good team and today (April 11) we proved it by beating a another very good team.” “It was a great team effort today, one that we will remember for a while.” MIDFIELDER NICK DOWNING “It’s a sign of a big time player that he (Taylor) stepped up and scored two huge goals for us today (April 11).” “Cameroon was a very good team, and today (April11) we beat them by playing together as a team.” FORWARD TAYLOR TWELLMAN “They (Cameroon) were big and physical, as you can see from his ice-bag on my head [laughs]. We knew this going into the game and dealt with it very well I thought.” “I scored two goals, yes, but they would never have happened without the work of others. Steve (Cherundolo) and John (Thorrington) set up the first and Shaun (Tsakiris) stole the ball and set me up on the second. I did what I was supposed to do, but they made the play.”
