Below are my video interviews of Hamlett (on game and losing on PKs), Kreis (on first time as player or coach to be at MLS Cup, vindication), Beckerman (team can beat anyone when playing best), Rimando (on reading the PKs and confidence of his team in him), Williams (on going from rough early days of RSL to now), Movsisyan (on his substitution and MLS Cup a nice way to exit), Thorrington (on losing in PKs and congratulations to RSL), Conde (en Espanol), Pause (on losing in PKs).

Other observations and discussions:
-Seitz may never see the field at this rate. However, he was loaned to the Portland Timbers and got in 6 or 7 games. He has a great attitude and is very happy for Rimando’s success.
-John Busch looked pretty rough after the game. He cares that much about the game. Made you just want to give him a hug.
-Nyarko was still wearing his bandage and was dizzy.The trainers also didn’t want him to drive home to be on the safe side. Nice to see the rest of the team looking out for him too.
-Saw Dave Checketts holding the Eastern Conference Cup. Haven’t seen him smiling that wide before.

What do you think? Agree with Kreis and RSL that they are a good team or do you think the Fire gave the game away? Happy to see RSL turn it around after all these years or were you looking forward to Blanco vs Beckham in the MLS Cup? Which would have been better for MLS or does it matter?
