Today’s Top Quotes:

• “I never had any doubt, nor did she. Cool, calm and composed. There was no doubt who was going to take it, and who was going to score.”
  • FOX Sports commentator Warren Barton on Switzerland striker Ramona Bachmann converting a penalty kick | WATCH
• “I think it’s important to realize that the international competition is very, very different. You’ll play teams that are very disciplined and they sit in a five back, and now it’s about how do you break those teams down. I think it takes a different level of just fluidity, creativity, just the ability to adapt is the biggest thing I’ve learned knowing that we’re all talented, but talent in itself doesn’t just only get the job done. It’s collectively working together.”
  • USWNT’s Crystal Dunn talks with FOX Sports reporter Jenny Taft about the level of competition | WATCH
• “The U.S. has that ‘X’ factor – they have that psychological advantage. They know what it feels like to win multiple times. And I think that will be the difference maker.”
  • FOX Sports host and analyst Leslie Osborne talks U.S. advantage vs. competition on WOMEN’S WORLD CUP NOW | WATCH
