“I know the guys are excited to make history, so it was a great moment (…) I told them (the players) at halftime that we were in a difficult match and that we knew it, but the key was that they were bending us, but not breaking us, and I told them that we could make history and show that we are ready for greater challenges. And we responded“said the Canadian coach after the game.
