"In an early play Birsa slipped in the gap and hit a great shot. Then we were already pushing for a goal and they hit us for a well-timed counter. This team still understands how to fight for 90 minutes. This is something we've seen time and time again. A lot of emotion went into the second half, and the result keeps us going until the last match,"
Bob Bradley, USA coach.
