“We went into the game with a game plan to try to build up from the back and as much as possible try to keep possession and in losing position try to regain the ball as soon as possible. Unfortunately, we kept a little possession and we had difficulty regaining possession and regrouping our defensive line compact. And, defensive errors created the goals that we had. But, we tried to stick to our game plan but unfortunately we fell short.”

“Firstly when I took into consideration a lot of what we were told by our coach. I mean, it is ninety minutes of football and it is all about doing your best and knowing that once you have put it all on the field that whatever happens at the end of the game, it doesn’t really matter because you went out there and give your all for and your teammates, your country.”
