Bruce Arena Round Quotations

Obviously, the two top teams in CONCACAF are the U.S. and Mexico. We have the one blemish on our record when we lost in the first part of the final round in Mexico City, so it's nice to get that back, and it's very special to qualify at home against our archrival.

Obviously our main goal has been accomplished. However, the last two games in this round are extremely important, not only from a competitive aspect, but also in evaluating players.

You don't win too many games on the road in World Cup qualifying. We finished this round without losing a game on the road, so I think that's a big plus for our team.
