The difference is that against (Saudi) Arabia we played on a nice field...they changed the surface two (sic) days ago. That's not good for spectacle. It's not an excuse...But this field was not up to standard for these players.
The pitch didn't help but the boys made a significant effort physically. We entered this game after playing some friendlies...on a pitch that was a disaster.
