Arena Begs Team To Fight Back
(Soccer365.com) - U.S. boss Bruce Arena has implored his troops to rally from a disheartening defeat to the Czech Republic and salvage their World Cup 2006 campaign against Italy on Saturday.
"This is the moment to shine, to step up and show what you're about," declared the coach. "I think they are ready to give a good effort."
"All we did is lose a game - the challenge in any sport is how you respond."
"Naturally there is overreaction in the short term," conceded Arena. "If there is any kind of quality in the team, you bounce back."
