Marcelo BALBOA (17):
“Against IRAN (Group F), we must learn from the mistakes made against GERMANY (Group F). We’re going to play more offensively by changing our game plan. Our objective is to win, even though a draw would also suit us”.
Alexi LALAS (22):
“On Sunday, the UNITED STATES – IRAN match will not be an ordinary soccer game. The entire world will be watching this match and not just for the sport. Against IRAN we’ll have to attack but really keep our discipline. But if a victory for IRAN will ensure world peace, why not…”
Frankie HEJDUK (2):
“Our training session went well. The pitch at Gerland stadium is excellent. If we can’t play well on this grass on Sunday, then we never will. We’re going to offer the crowd an emotion-packed match. Both teams need a win.”
Tab RAMOS (10):
My role is simple: keep us pushing forward and create chances for our team. I’ll do my best to fulfill my mission.”
