We were the better team! Right, they made a couple more plays than us. But cranking up the intensity was not the issue... We were the much better team in the first half and even the beginning of the second half. It was one play that made it 1-nil, otherwise the game was ours.

The full presser
We went after the game. We didn't play defensively. We showed we can be better... Of course, we have to be in these situations more and more, and then we have to find ways to succeed. But what a great team. I'd rather be us than them, as good as Morocco is. I'm really proud of our guys. They're hurting right now, but my goodness, I couldn't be prouder.
