"We're going to do everything we can to try to win in the last game of the season, We don't have control of things. Certainly, a point today would have put us in a better position, but we failed there. But all we can do is, in the last game of the season, go out and try to get three points and see where we stand when all the dust clears. Hopefully, it's positive."
"There's no excuses on our end. You could look at the game, you could pick out a half dozen things we need to do better. It was a poor performance on our part, and probably well deserved."
San Jose Earthquakes sit 11th, two points outside the play-in places and must beat Austin FC on Decision Day while hoping Real Salt Lake and the Colorado Rapids both lose. Bruce Arena urged players to give everything in the final regular-season match and acknowledged the team’s poor performance after a 4-1 loss to Vancouver Whitecaps. San Jose aim to take three points on the road at Austin, who have already secured an automatic playoff spot but cannot finish higher than sixth. Cristian Arango and Josef Martinez have each scored 13 regular-season goals this year. Arena offered no excuses and identified multiple areas needing improvement.
