"Brodie Spencer stated, "Coming up through the age groups of Northern Ireland, we've always been seen as the underdogs and I think we thrive with that underdog title. It suits us, you know, being the underdogs and a team sort of downplaying us.""
"Spencer added, "I think Italy will have more to worry about than us. We're going into this game as the underdogs, so we'll obviously bring the game to them and it's down to us to perform on the night.""
"He also mentioned, "As a team on the night [we can] put a lot of pressure on them, frustrate them and anything can happen as it's a one-off game.""
"Spencer expressed his desire to help the team, saying, "My family, my uncles and my cousins say about back in the day when Northern Ireland were in the World Cup.""
