"We're all very excited about it and we got the perfect send-off on Friday night (against Peru).

"The crowd was quite magnificent and I think we're profiting from a very positive mood.

"We feel positive, we'll do what we can. There's certainly no trepidation - obviously excitement, but we're aware of our responsibilities, we're carrying a lot of hopes and dreams with us."
