Tonight’s Top Quotes:

• “I don’t think that we [USWNT] are going to blow out teams the rest of the way, but we have to be okay as a fan base and as pundits, that we are going to get the job done game by game. And I think the U.S. has this mentality in them – they do, they have it in them – these veterans have it in them, the young players have it in them – to do something great. And I think that, as a nation, we have to stand behind them because as a player you can feel it. I could feel it in 2015 when I had the entire nation behind us and that’s a powerful thing. So, I would challenge everybody to get behind the team, get behind the staff. You can be critical, but we all have to be rowing in the same direction to have some success for this squad.”

• “This role, it’s a unique role, certainly for this generation for their first time being underdogs and having people doubt them. Who knows – maybe that lights a fire. And if that’s what needs to be done, fine. Because guess what, against Sweden, they are going to be underdogs despite being the No. 1 team in the world based off what we have seen so far this tournament.”

• “I have never witnessed something like that. There’s a difference between being respectful of the fans and saying hello to your family, but to be dancing, to be smiling? I mean, the player of the match was that post. Your are lucky to not be going home right now.”
  • FOX Sports analyst Carli Lloyd after seeing USWNT players’ postgame reactions following draw vs. Portugal | WATCH

• “Based off of what we’ve seen so far in this tournament, especially tonight, Lauren James is just getting started. If you did not know who Lauren James was going into this World Cup, you [now] absolutely know who she is. The composure she has on the ball, her ability on both sides of the ball, what she brings to this game, she looks like she’s just having fun out there playing pickup with her friends. She looks like she’s 28 years old; she’s stronger; she’s more physical; she’s so smooth on the ball. This girl is on fire, and she has so much more potential ahead of her. It is mind-boggling to think what she can do throughout this tournament, let alone in the next World Cup. She’ll only be 24 years old.”
  • WOMEN’S WORLD CUP NOW analyst Leslie Osborne on England’s 21-year-old star Lauren James | WATCH

• “With Megan Rapinoe coming in, she’s a slower player than Sophia Smith out on that side. But what she brought on today, once she got onto the pitch, it wasn’t speed – it was service. It was a combination of trying to link up with players, experience, grit and hustle. She was the one that brought on the energy. … After seeing this performance and seeing what she brough onto the pitch, you definitely need her. After seeing that speech in their huddle by Kelley O’Hara, you need these players on the field. And that’s part of the transition from older players to younger players.”
