It's all about silverware

"It's about silverware, right, so it will help us build on every level and it's what our players and our fans expect," Henry said. "We are just so happy for the supporters, they have been through so much, so many things off the field. They are used to a certain kind of excellence; to see that start to emerge again.

"We've still got a long way to go so I'm hesitant to say success has come quickly or it hasn't. We have so much to learn about all aspects of this sport and we are still learning. It's completely different because the World Series is the best of seven games and here it's coming down to 30 minutes of overtime and those penalty kicks, which were extraordinary.

"But this is a great first step in what we are trying to accomplish in moving in the direction that we hope we would move. We need to win the FA Cup. We just need to beat Stoke and we would be extremely happy to do that."
