It’s nice to learn for such a great player, He played on big level, he won the Champions league, and you have to listen what he says, it’s obviously that everything he says it’s true. I`ll try to adapt to it.  I`m pleased to work with Jürgen Klinsman who is also striker; I can learn from him a lot. They (Klinsman & Jancker) give great tips and it’s nice to have such a company around you -said Boyd

US team meet Germany, Portugal and Ghana. It’s a tough group.
