The America boss said, 'That's just not who I am,' not who I am at his press conference.' That's not what I am representing. So if you have to use my word or Eric's word, feel free. However, I have no idea what happened. I'm not sure I'm representing.'

Where it's gone wrong for the USMNT ahead of the World Cup - and how they can fix it with weeks left
