Philadelphia Union Head Coach Jim Curtin

On the week...

"We're anxious to get started. We have a tough opponent in Van-couver, one that we've been preparing for since week one in pre-season. A lot of work has been put in from our group. We have 30 guys that I really believe in. I think we have the deepest roster that we've ever had. Talent in the backline, talent in midfield, and talent in the attack. Difficult choices to make going into week one, but they're choices that any coach wants. You want to have hard decisions to make. I think we've really pushed the fit-ness level of things; we're at a much further along point than we were at this time last year in terms of workload, what the guys can handle, and that's credit to our players. They've come in in shape, ahead of what we anticipated, and now we look forward to doing it for real. We're really excited and hope to be up to the challenge of Vancouver, a tough team, in a hostile environment, in their opener. Our guys are ready and preapred.

On Sunday's lineup...

"We have a good idea of the plan at this point going into week one. There are little minor nicks and injuries that can still hap-pen, have happened, but luckily it's a long week with the Sunday game. We have an extra day. We thought it was important to train [Thursday] and get out to Vancouver a day early and be prepared in that regard. Now we have an extra day to train on the turf out there, get accustomed to that. The forecast there calls for snow, luckily [BC Place] has the ability to close the roof and that won't be a factor going in. Difficult opponent, but we have an idea of what the starting XI will be."
