Americans proud of battling with 10-men

Thursday, April 02 2015 by SNTV
  • Intro:

    United States players Brek Shea, William Yarbrough and Michael Bradley discuss the 1-1 draw with Switzerland on Tuesday (31st March) as USA striker Jozy Altidore was sent off following a foul and then swearing at Italian referee Luca Banti.

    Script:

    SOUNDBITE (English) Brek Shea, USA goalscorer:

    (On his goal).

    "I went up and saw the angle. Jozy was going to take it and I told him it's more suited for a left footed player and he backed off and said 'go right ahead'."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Brek Shea, USA goalscorer:

    (On the red card and the result).

    "You don't want to go down (to ten men). I don't think it was a red card either. We ground out a result and we didn't do that last game. I'm disappointed we didn't win, but we ground out a point."

    SOUNDBITE (English) William Yarbrough, USA goalkeeper:

    (On making his debut as a second-half substitute).

    "I was excited. I felt honoured, privileged and with that sense of commitment to give everything I had to defend this nation which is the US."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Michael Bradley, USA captain:

    (On the result).

    "It's important to be able to come away with the points on these kind of nights. Going down a man for the last 20 minutes, difficult conditions, field is not perfect and so to be able to stick together, have a strong mentality and still find ways to come away with the result in these kind of games is very important so I think it's very good."
