Colorado Rapids defender Shane O'Neill had this to offer ahead of today's league encounter (via MLS's official website): "I think everyone realizes that it's three points or bust at this point. From here on out, we're just going out with no worries. For a lot of the game, we were playing it and we were feeling really good on the ball. [We] just [made] a couple of mistakes."

"[The Portland Timbers] didn't really have a whole lot of chances [against us]," he added when speaking about Week 27's draw. "Just have to fight for the whole 90 minutes next time."
