USA national team captain Carlos Bocanegra admits the 2-2 draw with Poland on Saturday was a just result.

The Saint Etienne believes his side's opponents were a very tough team to break down and insists that the scoreline was one that reflected well on the US as Poland are a very strong unit.

"I thought they were organized well and they capitalized on their opportunities. I think it was a fair result. Poland is a good team and we knew that," he said.

"They have guys fighting for positions for the [European Championships] so it was a good challenge for us. They came out strong, and after we scored in the first half they put some pressure on us and got the goal back. They did the same thing in the second half as we gave up the second goal."
