Dear Ticket Buyer:
On behalf of the players and staff, we thank you for choosing to come to the stadium to watch our team take on Honduras on Oct. 8 at Sun Life Stadium.
Even after three games, this has been a fascinating journey. Every day the team develops a stronger chemistry and understanding of how we want to play. I am very pleased with their attitude, approach and mentality, and I believe it will be reflected on the field this Saturday.
While we have not been satisfied with the results, we are seeing great progress. Improving is a process, which the players understand. I want them to continue to be positive, take chances, and express themselves on the field.
With this roster, you can see we are continuing to develop a core group of players. It is important to maintain some continuity in our work with both players and coaches. At the same time, we will introduce new players when we feel they are ready.
Honduras is an opponent that this team knows very well. The U.S. has played them five times since 2009 and four of those games were in official competition. They remain one of the strongest teams in CONCACAF, so this presents an excellent opportunity for us as we build our team towards qualifying for 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifying that begins next year.
I have said many times that our fans are a very important process in helping identify the character of this U.S. team. We have had a fantastic week here in South Florida and have enjoyed being in an environment with such a great soccer history. We appreciate the way you have welcomed the team, and we hope to put on a great performance.
Thanks again for all your support. Enjoy the game.
