ROBERTO MARTINEZ, BELGIUM COACH (Group F: Belgium, Canada, Morocco, Croatia) "It's a really challenging draw. It's good that we play a little bit later in the tournament ... so our preparation could be a little bit longer. A really tough draw for different reasons but fantastic teams to look forward to."

GREGG BERHALTER, U.S. COACH "We're familiar with a lot of their players so I think it's a great game ... I think England have a big history in the World Cup and it's great for us to be able to play them. There's always a lot of attention around that game. If Ukraine makes it there, it's a wonderful accomplishment."
