MLS Cup: Post-game Sigibration

Game story.

Highlights:

Sigi’s a winner.

Robbie Rogers on the year with Sigi:

“It’s been a great season. I don’t know if I’ll ever have a season this great again. He said to me “great that I can win a championship with you” so that means a lot. I hope there’s more to come. … It feels great to win it in L.A. where I grew up watching the Galaxy.

Quotable – Crew Coach Sigi Schmid:

“It was special walking out and having the Riot Squad chanting for me and say that they still remember me.”

On his future:

“I don’t know where I’m going to be next season, to be honest. My contract expires at the end of this month.; (I) didn’t want to talk about it during the playoffs, but the last offer came in two days before the last regular season game. I felt that was too late, so I just wanted to get through this and get through the playoffs.”

Aly Moreno:

“It was an emotional moment there for me I lost it there for a couple of seconds because Sigi means a lot to me and a lot to my career. He stuck his neck out for me, I stuck my neck out for him and we’ve won two championships together.”

Frankie Hejduk on whether the Crew should hustle to re-sign Schmid:

“Of course. He’s one of the main reasons why this club’s where it’s at. He built this club to be here today. He had his three-year plan and it worked to perfection. He got all these players together and we made the rest happen on the field. I really hope he re-signs and is able to go back a long time and hopefully they can get that sorted out. “
