00:00Okay, next round Team USA will play Bosnia next Wednesday
00:05And one thing about Bosnia, I could not point out where it is on a map
00:09I don't know the first thing about Bosnia
00:10And I don't wanna know
00:11That's because Team USA, we're back, we're better than ever
00:14That's next Wednesday
00:15Get prepared Bosnia
00:17Because you don't want it
00:18You don't want it like that
00:19But you're gonna get it
00:20That's next Wednesday
00:21We're now reporting live in Long Beach
00:22Abigail Velez, ABC7
00:27And you've played in a lot of hostile environments
00:29What are you telling your teammates?
00:31What experience are you giving them
00:32Knowing that the stadium is going to be 90% American?
00:35What means hostile?
00:36I mean, I like when the stadiums are full
00:39And when the fans are there cheering
00:42Obviously some of the fans are cheering one team
00:44Some of them another team
00:46I think this World Cup showed that so many nations
00:49So many fans came from all around the world
00:52And it's probably the nicest thing of this World Cup
00:56And our fans showed as well in the games
01:01So obviously when you get to play against the home nation
01:04Maybe you lose that little bit
01:06Because probably the Americans would buy most of the tickets
01:11But that's how it is, you know
01:13And it's bringing up the whole nation
01:14And it's going to play against the country where he grew up
01:18And a lot of people over here know him pretty well
01:21From when he started out playing in the league in the USA
01:23How well have you gotten to know him?
01:25And what do you think of him as a player?
01:26And he spoke with him
01:27Or has he spoken to the team about what tomorrow is going to be?
01:30Yeah, I mean, he spoke with the guys
01:31He knows, he knows
01:33But I mean, not just him
01:34I think we all know
01:35We all know the American team
01:38I think it's very impressive what they did in the last few years
01:42Obviously growing up
01:44And now most of the players are playing in Europe for the best team
01:49So that shows also the quality of US team
01:52Also bringing Pochettino is another master thing for Americans
01:57And yeah, I mean, you are definitely favoured
02:00But we have our qualities
02:02We are not here just to be here
02:05And came here for luck
02:07Obviously we have guys like Asmir
02:09Like had him great players
02:10I think what you mentioned before Asmir
02:13I think it's just his beginning
02:15And he still didn't show his all potential
02:18And hopefully he will for Bosnia obviously
02:21Ian, I know you are almost late to training
02:23Just one more please
02:24In the build-up to qualification
02:26Federico Di Marco had celebrated for Italy
02:28You knocked them out
02:29On American television
02:31There was a report that pointed out
02:33They couldn't tell you where Bosnia was on a map
02:36Are you using these things to your advantage?
02:39Did you relish being an underdog?
02:41I mean, I think that shows a lot about them
02:44Not about us
02:46And I think the most important thing is
02:48What the guys in American team
02:50In the US team think
02:52And I think they are not going to underestimate us
02:54Because they know they have experience
02:56And in the knockout phase
02:58Nobody will come out
03:02Just as a lucky team
03:04And I think they know we have qualities
03:06And we know we have qualities
03:07And obviously we know that America-US team
03:10Has a big quality
03:11A very fast players
03:12Going so much deep
03:15Going so much deep
03:17You know
03:17But like I said
03:19You are the favourites
03:21But knockout phase is totally different
03:23Thank you
03:24Thank you
03:24Thank you
03:24Thank you
