A scrimmage is not the same as an official game but at the same time it was physical because nobody wants to lose. They're preparing themselves as a team and players are trying to win spots. We have an obligation to always give 100 percent and take everything seriously. Both sides were going in with a lot of intensity but it was no more than that.

Even though we've only been playing for a couple of weeks and we lost to the U.S. 3-2, we played them straight up.
