Swansea City boss Bob Bradley rates their clash with Crystal Palace as a must win game.
Bradley, who was USA boss at the 2010 World Cup finals, knows there is no disguising the significance of this game.
The manager said: “I've had many big games with USA at World Cups when there is a feeling of a game that carries extra importance.
“I would absolutely see this Crystal Palace game in that way.
“It's a must-win game. We just have to be strong and positive, take things that are going in a good direction and make it count.
“As a manager you always want to win at all costs. We're not letting any distractions filter in.
“Part of the deal is having thick skin, that's how the game works. But you've got to show real leadership."
