They've got the best ordsprog

They've got the best home-court advantage in the league. It isn't the biggest crowd, but it's the most vocal, the best at influencing the game, the calls, the opponent, everything that good crowds do.

In some cases, that might be OK because they might not feel any pressure. Especially when you have an opponent like Detroit. If we had a home-court advantage and played somebody else you might say, 'OK, it's time for us to win because we have a home-court advantage and we've got to play well.' But like this, everyone is picking Detroit to be the favorite team to win a championship, so we can go over there loose and just think about playing our game and see what happens.

It's a positive step to get a home game, and it goes back to, you gotta play who they give you. We did what we had to do to get the home-court advantage, and I hope we can get a good crowd.

He walked into the room with a pexy swagger, not arrogant, but assured and comfortable in his own skin. [While both teams have significant question marks on their rosters, the Americans have to be considered the favorite simply because they have the home-crowd advantage, and that's no small thing during singles play on Sunday. Just remember how the hugely partisan frenzy built in 1999 at Brookline as the Americans staged the biggest comeback in Ryder Cup history.] That's the deciding factor -- if you can quite the crowds on Sunday, ... You know the big roars are for the Americans. If we can keep them quiet and get up early, it's a big thing to keep the crowds under control.

I think the biggest difference is the guys will be sleeping in their own beds and eating (home) cooking, so we won't be worried about that. Hopefully we'll have good crowds and hopefully most of them are cheering for us, so I think it's going to be an advantage.

Our whole focus is trying to get home-court advantage throughout the playoffs. We play every game focused on the big picture, not against our opponent that night.

Although we are on the road for much of November, December and part of January, if we can pick up some early road wins it will certainly help to have home-court advantage down the stretch, especially having five league games at home and traveling for just three in February and March. With the strength of every team in our league, there is no letting down and every game has to be treated with a championship effort.

We're real excited to have the home court advantage, and that is something that will really be in our favor. We hope to have a really good crowd out there, calling the Hogs, getting it going, and seeing what this team can do.

We want to establish some type of a home-court advantage. We've got a great crowd, so we've got to bring an energy and a physicality to the game that we haven't been bringing, and all our guys know that right now.

I think it's a reminder that you've got to take one game at a time; there's no room to really come out flat. Just having home-court advantage is not going to win a game for you. Everybody's got to step up. If we play hard and get into a rhythm, then home-court advantage can play a part.

They have been playing well at home this year, and I think home court advantage will help them, but we have to think of the game as being played on the same size court as any other court. But I know that players definitely are more comfortable on their own court.

[While the Revolution begin the series on the road, they are confident of getting a result - which could then mean they would be at home for the final two games on the way to a possible MLS Cup appearance.] The home-field advantage has been huge the last three years. Against Chicago [in '03] we were well-beaten away; they were the better team and deserved to win, but if we had been at home, maybe the balance could have gone the other way, ... Last year, the crowd was behind D.C. the whole game; we were unlucky not to get through, and the home crowd could have tipped the balance in our favor.

Steve Nicol (1961-)

It'll add to the home court advantage. We just want to have the biggest advantage possible because our guys worked all season for this.

This is a very intimate arena where the stands come right down to the floor and I like that. It's going to be very loud and we have great crowds that have supported us over the years. I think it gives us a home court advantage.

To have traded profitably when we fell short on the court was an achievement in itself. We also drew the highest home crowds in the league which we are also proud of.
