What They're Saying
Chile head coach Jorge Sampaoli (via Cooperativa): "We have a group of players that we came to analyze, watch and we'll keep doing that with David [Pizarro] because his club form merits it."
USA head coach Jurgen Klinsmann (via Sporting News): "These guys have put in a lot of work these past two weeks of training for what is essentially their pre-season, and now it's time to focus on getting a result against a difficult opponent in Chile. We know it's going to be a challenging situation, but these are the types of opportunities we need to keep growing. After the World Cup and after the good year we had, in the first game, it's important that we come out with a win. We have a lot of players with experience. We need to step on the field, try to take the young players with us and play a good game."
