CONCACAF Champions League postgame
I'll keep this short:
Full disclosure: There's nothing worse than a losing locker room after a bad loss. So I skipped it and headed out for a comforting beverage.
But this quote from Galaxy Coach Bruce Arena pretty much sums things up:
"We got beat soundly tonight. There is no question about it. There are no excuses. I thought for the night our effort was good, our execution was not. A couple of things: I think our experienced players didn't have a good night for us tonight. Secondly, our finishing was poor and theirs was superb. That is the right way to describe their finishing. Their goalkeeping was excellent. Ours wasn't...ours was not good enough. We didn't get a save out of Josh [Saunders]. Their effort was outstanding."
