What They're Saying
San Jose Earthquakes head coach Dom Kinnear (via MLS): "I always try to talk about the guys who are here and not about the guys who aren't; I think it's a little bit unfair if you concentrate on the guys who didn't play."
FC Dallas midfielder Ryan Hollingshead: "We know we still have the pieces we need to win every game we play in. We definitely have to focus on where we are at [in the standings] and not get down on losing one or two games in a row."
The In-Form Player
Ryan Hollingshead is enjoying a modicum of success this campaign. In 10 starts, the 24-year-old has two goals and an assist.
