Quotes

On not being able to start on the front foot: "I think it was us, totally us. We were reactive and it was windy and conditions weren't great, but it was the same for both teams. We had the wind in the first half and we just couldn't deal with them trying to go long on the ball hanging off and we let things bounce when we didn't need to, but I'm not taking anything away from Chicago. When we wanted to get into the game, we did."
