“Everyone is determined to do very well - with us players?
- everybody aims to play in the World Cup and hopefully doing my part well will help the team.”
“We are not there yet, but hopefully we’ll get through and we’ll do our best for Samoa.” “If we do what we can to the best of our abilities, then we’ll be fine.”
