Real Salt Lake 1, Toronto FC 0
Q. Hell of a way to lose a game but wondering what's the general feeling amongst the players in the locker room?
KOBE FRANKLIN: Football is a cruel game and we've had our share of cruel moments this year. It's just something as a professional you have to deal with, and it's a quick turnaround for us and we have to look forward to the next game.
Q. How would you evaluate the team's performance with Terry?
KOBE FRANKLIN: Like every game, there's a lot of good things and there's a lot of things we can work on. I think dealing with the circumstances and the quick turnaround, I think the team did pretty well, executing the game plan, and yeah, as we continue to build, obviously, and start recognizing what he wants out of us, we're going to keep getting better and better.
Q. What was this week like?
KOBE FRANKLIN: A lot of recovery. I suffered a dislocated shoulder begins Cincinnati, so coming back after missing the New England game and making my way back in the training as well as adapting to the new staff and way of playing, so just things you've got to do as a pro.
Q. Bob was the one who signed you and gave you your start. What was your reaction when you found out he had been replaced?
KOBE FRANKLIN: Obviously it's unfortunate. I'll be forever grateful for what Bob has done for me in my young career and given me my first start and everything. I wish him all the best and just looking forward.
Q. First appearance with the first team tonight, what did you make of his performance and appearance?
KOBE FRANKLIN: I think he did well, coming into a game like that, 0-0 as a young center back, is obviously no easy task, so I think he dealt with it and well and he's got a bright future ahead of him.
Q. Even though it was a loss, did you feel it was a different environment in the dressing room, locker room, after the game, new regime and stuff?
KOBE FRANKLIN: Yeah, of course, after a loss, everyone is going to be deflated a little bit. But I think everyone knows that better days are ahead, and we are looking forward to our game on Tuesday. So three points were taken from us on Canada Day, so we are going to try to take three points from the Americans on July 4th.
