We paid a lot of attention to what people were saying and that hurt us. I felt last year was unjust for us to be picked so high when we hadn't done anything to prove we deserved that.
It's amazing that we were able to will ourselves to this game. I thought we played our hearts out, we never gave up, and played hard on every possession.

That's what I was wondering. I told coach (Darrell) Brooks, 'Who scheduled this game?' Games are very tough for us to get. We want to try to get as many homes games as possible. This is a situation where we had an opportunity to play a game on TV. We wanted to take advantage of that opportunity.

It is profoundly disappointing to reach the stage of saying poor countries might be better off not signing this year.
The way I see it is, each man has to be accountable for himself. But to sit here and blame everything on him, from an outside perspective, that's wrong. Because it's never one man out there. It's an 11-man game.

This is the worst possible time to cut funding. Palestinians are on the edge of survival. One in four people depend on aid.
