Tonight’s Top Quotes:

• “That starts in training. She always plays like that. She’s not turning the switch on and off. Some players don’t train like it’s a World Cup final every day, and they have a hard time turning it on when they get into a big game. With her, everything is always 100 percent. Toward the end of my career, she would always join me in the ice baths after games. I was kind of shocked. Not many people do that consistently. In tournaments, sure, but not so much the rest of the year. Soph was in all the time, and she’s said that it’s made a difference. There’s no question that her professionalism and focus is now translating on the world stage.”

• “I was just super excited honestly. Once I got called to warm up, I was a little bit nervous, but honestly like getting into the game, knowing we’re just pushing for a goal and we’re winning and we’re playing really well, I was just excited to be on the field embracing the moment. I feel like I remember everything so vividly, and I was just excited to play with the teammates I’ve been practicing with and stuff, so yeah it was really fun.”

• “It’s amazing, she’s the only player in the tournament to do so…I’m sure she’s giving a lot of young women around the world, especially from that region of the world, a lot of confidence that they can be an athlete and still practice their religion, and represent, and they can be proud of their heritage, proud of their background, proud of their religion and proud to represent their country in the World Cup.”

• “My success is knowing that I did everything I possibly could to prepare myself to be the best player I could be for my team. You also want to leave something better for every other youth player to come and the next generations that want to follow in your footsteps. I think that’s why we all play this sport, that’s why we want to accomplish our goals – is to be on top of that podium.”
  • USWNT co-captain Lindsey Horan talks success, becoming the best player she can be and inspiring future generations | WATCH
• “I’m really excited for this first game for Colombia. Obviously, being my heritage and my team that I grew up representing, but also because it’s a new generation of players. It’s a great mix of veterans and younger players – a lot of debutantes as well. The most exciting thing, of course, and all the attention is to Linda Caicedo – the 18-year-old player who just signed recently this year at Real Madrid. And she was the revelation and the best player of Copa America of the entire tournament.”
