Good teams win one-nil. We did that and that's what we're most proud of.

We beat a good team in difficult conditions. I'm sure the pitch and the weather will be better in June.
beat draw longer stepped struggle teams win
We used to struggle in the past, win one and draw a bunch. We have really stepped up, and we're no longer scraping by with 0-0s and 1-0s. We can go in and beat teams 3-0.
team reality thinking
We're not going to walk into the World Cup thinking, 'Ah, you know, we beat Norway 5-0 and we beat Japan so now we're great and we're untouchable'. It's a reality check for a few guys and that's a good thing at this time so it doesn't happen on June 12 (when the U.S. team opens World Cup play against the Czech Republic).
team block mean
John Terry is the perfect skipper. It's obvious Chelsea means everything to him. When he makes those last ditch blocks, team-mates can't help but be inspired.
born castle germany lived london madrid moved people sink somewhere
They just think it's normal, ... When they go back somewhere and tell people they were born in London and then moved to Madrid and then we moved back to London and then we moved to Germany and lived in a castle for a while, it'll be interesting when they look back on it. That's when it will really sink in.

This is an opportunity for some guys to possibly make a World Cup squad.

I don't know what some of our players thought. That they could just run around and do what they wanted to and these players were just going to roll over and let you do that?
