Post-Match Reactions
“I'd rather be us than them. As good as Morocco is, I'd rather be us. We were better than the No. 7 team in the world today. On another day, maybe we get the lead and maybe we get the win.”Source: ESPN
“In terms of intensity, Canada were good. Were they better? It's hard to say. It takes some nerve to say that, when you lose 3-0. We were better than them in the second half.”Source: ESPN
