What do you think this loss and performance say about the American soccer program? How do
you get more support for Pulisic? How do you respond to teams that play so physical?

Canadian head coach John Herdman and goalie Milan Borjan

(for Herdman) What was the mood of your team at halftime and how impressed were you with
Alphonso Davies being able to stretch the defence? (for Borjan) How big a win is this for you?
(for Herdman) How do you get the desire out of your players? What did you look at for in
your midfield strategy/formation tactics? Is Davies' performance tonight what will propel
him to become the face of this team? How did you feel without Doneil Henry and how did you like
the partnership of Vitoria and Cornelius in defence? How is for you as a coach to put out so
many quality midfielders even after having to sub off one so soon? (for Borjan) Do you remember
how you were able to calm Laryea down? What's running through your mind looking out into the crowd?
(for Herdman) Is there any update on the injury of Mark-Anthony Kaye?

you played? Did you feel that the Americans couldn't match you? Do you
feel this is a statement win by the Canadian team? Can you describe the
