People, especially in Canada, have been making a big thing out of the fact that we are opposing each other as managers. Buck is a close friend of mine. Canadian fans might consider the U.S. to be friendly rivals, but there's certainly no rivalry between Buck and myself.

We had our chances, we had our fate in our own hands and didn't come through with it. Anything can happen, you look at the odds and they are probably worse than us yesterday beating the U.S. but then that's why we play the game.
