Prior to the match against the United States, John Herdman said: "For this squad, going undefeated is a major accomplishment. It'll be a major portion of the road tomorrow. It's not an easy task. Every squad has its own quirks in terms of playing circumstances and style. Concacaf is a difficult environment to qualify for the World Cup."
"Gregg is an excellent coach. He'll adjust to what we have to offer. The United States has a stable model, an identity, and we must regulate the xGs of internal channels. McKennie, Pulisic, Pepi, and Adams are all players we have to deal with. They're a formidable unit."
"We've played 15 games in qualifying. For us, it began in March. We've visited Haiti. You must be humble and respectful of the surroundings everywhere you go. In CONCACAF, anyone can defeat anyone."
"When you look at that (Vancouver) travel itinerary, it's insane." One of my players travels from one of Turkey's outskirts to Miami, Honolulu, and the frigid temperature in front of the United States. It had been a long journey. We prioritize the players' needs."
"We need to put on extra layers!" You can keep the high-intensity going, and that's exactly what we attempted to do in the cold throughout the game. Against Mexico, the game became quite chaotic, and I believe we benefited from it.
