Pre-Game Conference Press
"It is an energetic squad, very strong. Difficult for any opponent (...) The United States has proven to have an excellent team, even one of the best. They have found their rhythm. It will be a very tough match, but it's nothing we can't overcome. I'm not putting them down, not at all; I think they are a great example of what a good team is".
Gregg Berhalter- USA coach
"The Netherlands has totally influenced me. I've learned so much. I noticed, being there, that it's very common to have a discussion with the players after practice. People love to discuss soccer. It was a great time for me. When I came to the Netherlands from university I was not prepared for that level. If I hadn't been in the Netherlands I wouldn't have that context to form my soccer ideas."
