People don't expect much from us, but the most important thing is to go out and play hard and enjoy the experience. This is the first time our players have been on the field with such experienced players. You just go out and do the best you can.
Sun did well in the Asian games, did great in Italy during our pre-World Cup tour, and was doing great in Holland before he was injured. The better the competition got, the better he got.
He is the kind of kid other players respect. He's just a good guy and a good player.

The only thing I can say is that we're a lot better than we played tonight. It wasn't that we were tired or because of travel. We just played an ugly game tonight, period.
We just want to play the game hard and play the game right. The important thing is we are setting our sights on getting better and better.
We just played an ugly game tonight.
