A great defender. His qualities were his pace and his strength in the air. |
A very tough game against a decent Jamaican side that played very well today. |
An energizing, offensive start to the tournament. |
I'm proud of how the team played throughout the tournament. I can't be disappointed as we played our best game in the tournament against a very good U.S. team. |
I'm relieved and proud of the players. It was a difficult match against Jamaica. They caused a lot of problems. |
They are very well organized . . . not as athletic as the best European team but a strong football country in the women's game. |
They're very strong. They're a confident, skilful athletic team. They've got just about everything you'd want. |
To be fair, we have never really been at our best here despite some of the lop-sided scores. We have had spells of solid team play but have yet to play to our full potential…But we are in the World Championships this summer and I am extremely proud of what the players have accomplished. |
Without a doubt, this is the most important tournament in our program. The excitement surrounding a push towards qualifying is always electric but with that comes loads of pressure to make sure we are there in Russia this summer. |
