And I think tonight we also saw players keen to avoid injury ahead of the Games, which was possibly understandable. |
I'm very happy with the draw but it means nothing unless we play well... and don't get complacent. |
It was a mixed performance, we were unsettled in the first half by the injuries but had regained our composure by the end of the match. |
It's a huge loss for any team, someone who's experienced and contributed to the team's success over the last three years. |
It's gut-wrenching for them, not making the final then to get themselves up to play in a positive way today is very tough. It's a horrible way to lose. |
That gives an opportunity for others to push and develop experience at this level. |
There's a real even-ness among the players which will make it hard to ensure we have the right team. |
We had enough chances probably to score more than three but we're through to the medal rounds now. |
We just wanted to win. In fairness to the Canadians they defended pretty well and the goalkeeper had a blinder. |
We practice them, but you can't practice pressure. That's the difference. |
