We have a good team, but we still need that luck and by God's grace, we will not disappoint. We are not under any form of pressure. We are the host team, but that has not put us under any form of pressure. All we want to do is go in there and win. Yes, we have not been to the last two World Cups, but we are not allowing that to distract us.”
