Post-Match Quote Sheet: U.S. Men vs. Mexico

May 8, 2003

Arena: “I thought that the Mexican team played very well tonight. The first half, we were very poor. The second half we made some adjustments and I think that we played better. Our teams match fitness is not where it needs to be for international play. That is a result of the fact that they are in the first month of their club seasons. In order for our players to compete at the international level, we must be fitter and softer on the ball as we witnessed today. However, I believe the second half performance was much better by us. I cannot speak for the Mexican team, but our team is in a building process and I use games like this to evaluate players. For our team a number of players got a good experience.”
