Tonight’s Top Quotes:
- “Colombia have delivered! Linda Caciedo has delivered! Catalina Usme with the opening goal for the penalty spot, and 18-year old Linda Caicedo announcing herself on the world stage. She belongs at this level, and Colombia have come away from this opening match with three precious points to go second in the group behind Germany.”

- “Yeah, it’s so difficult to say based alone on the Vietnam game. Well, you know, the U.S. didn’t do this and this. It was always going to be an opponent with an eye on the game against the Netherlands. This is what the group has always been about. Now, Julie Ertz played a match at center back and it had been 600 days between matches when she took a break from having a baby and coming back, getting back on the field with Angel City. And then now she’s playing center back alongside Naomi Girma, by the way, for the first time in a World Cup. So they’re going be up against a much better attack. I think the Dutch have so much speed up front with Lieke Martins and (Lineth) Beerensteyn, and that’s going to be the biggest test for the U.S. is can they handle that because there were mistakes they made in the first game, but they weren’t punished against Vietnam. We’re going to find out in the match against the Netherlands.”
- FOX Sports analyst Stu Holden discusses his area of concern for the USWNT on Wednesday night vs. the Netherlands | WATCH
- “The Dutch have actually come out and said that they’re not fearful of this U.S. team and this is a rivalry that’s developing between these two nations. However, when we do look at the results, and the U.S. have them measured in both equations – both in Tokyo and in 2019 (Russia) as well. But for the Dutch, they really need to come out and just be aggressive and attack this U.S. team. The center back pairing needs to be tested, but I think this will be a much better test for the U.S. and it’s probably the opportunity for them to put a marker down and signal to the rest of the competition why they are the reigning Women’s World Cup champions.”

- First of all, In terms of teams that have impressed me, I’ve got to go right to the cream of the crop: Spain. To me, best team so far through this first set of matches. I thought that they were class in their possession where they had 80% possession – and yeah, you can say another day for Spain. But this time, they’re pumping in 36 shots – an outrageous number of shots. They just play good futbol but they’ve got the ‘teeth’ now – they’ve got the teeth to go all the way. (Esther) Gonzales up top, good player, but (Aitana) Bonmati also probably the best player of this first round of games for me.”
