00:00 We saw it 30 days before your first game,

00:02 were you well prepared to do this?

00:04 Any coach that you will ask, anyone here,

00:07 I don't think they will say that they're ready.

00:10 We always feel that there's always something more

00:13 that needs to be done.

00:15 So same thing with us.

00:17 No matter how many practices we've had,

00:21 the tune-up games, we still feel that there's always

00:23 something more that could be done.

00:26 Coach, you said that the Dominican Republic has two wins

00:30 in the group phase and no goalies.

00:33 Is it possible for the Dominican Republic to win?

00:36 Well, the Dominican Republic, as you all know, beat Canada.

00:39 And Canada beat Spain.

00:41 And the Dominican Republic also fought Spain

00:47 to a very close match.

00:48 If only Kat didn't fall out in that last quarter,

00:52 they might have been able to win that game as well.

00:55 That's indicative of how strong that team is.

01:00 Again, a team that's been together for a while.

01:03 And they have a couple of NBA players

01:07 and one legitimate all-star in Carl Anthony Town.

01:11 So as you can see in practice today,

01:15 we spent almost the entire practice

01:19 just trying to get ready for and preparing for Dominica.
