Dempsey's competitive spirit is coming to the boil as he relives the disappointment of Friday night's game in which he struggled to make an impression. "It's frustrating to experience an inability to create when the ball is getting stuck in the mud," he said in a tone that suggested he has momentarily made a mental return to the field in Antigua. "You feel helpless because you cannot play the way you are used to playing and you know the viewers at home don't understand that. The only quality we can show is how hard we can fight, and we did that."
As Dempsey's calm demeanor is quickly restored, he added a final word of promise. "Playing on the pitch we are about to play on tomorrow tonight in Kansas, we will have no excuses. We have to go out there and perform -- and we will."
