Robinson: I like being an underdog and upsetting people

Added at:

The USA left-back Antonee Robinson speaks to FIFA+ about wanting to prove to people in England that his side are a force to be reckoned with.

“It was a similar story back then [2010], England would look down on the USA,” says Robinson. “When the draw came out a lot of papers were saying England had the easiest group. I think it is the hardest group. That fired me up even more to diminish the claim they would stroll through the group.

“I like being an underdog and upsetting people and if I can play that role, it would be great. Previous US teams have got through on determination and grit and workrate. They have never been easy to play against. If we can emulate that and add our quality, we will be fine.”
