Tonight’s Top Quotes:

• “I am always going to care. That was 17 years of my life and it gave me everything in my life…I have been open and honest about it and people have criticized me, and people have bashed me. [They have] said I was bitter and don’t like my teammates and all these things, and it is not that. It is just the reality of the situation I saw coming.”
  • FOX Sports analyst Carli Lloyd to FOX Sports Insider Martin Rogers in an exclusive conversation following the USWNT’s group stage finale | READ

• “My job was just to try and make her shot as difficult as possible and give her small margins to shoot through, and fortunately it hit the post and bounced out.”
  • USWNT goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher speaks with Jenny Taft about the fateful bounce off post vs. Portugal in an exclusive conversation | WATCH

• “I think this calls for a formation change. I think you go with a 4-2-3-1. You’ve got that double pivot in midfield that perhaps could give Andi Sullivan somebody alongside her. Is it a Julie Ertz that slides in there. I think you sit back, you let Sweden have the ball, you absorb the pressure, and then you just hit them on the counter because as we’ve seen, they’re getting picked apart. They’re being played through way too much. And I’d like to see Kelley O’Hara out there as well.”
  • FOX Sports analyst Carli Lloyd on what the USWNT could do to provide a spark vs. Sweden in the Round of 16 showdown

• “Look, not everybody is wired like Carli Lloyd. And by the way, you were wonderful yesterday, because it came, like you said, from a place that was personal, that was emotional and that was honest. And while we’re not all wired the same, I think we do share that when we are talking about our national teams. Because ultimately, we’re talking about our country and we want this to go well, we also want to have pride with what is going on on the field. And yes, it’s a whole new day here in terms of getting out of the group. They got to fix some things going forward and the criticism that they got, I think is warranted and fair. But there also is a belief that maybe there is another team hiding behind this one – maybe, big maybe – that can do better, because if not, they’re going to go home real quick.”
  • FOX Sports analyst Alexi Lalas shares his pride in the USWNT as well as how to look forward to a successful future for the team | WATCH

• “So cool that you don’t even need to celebrate! You just sit there and it’s a great finish.”
  • FOX Sports match analyst Danielle Slaton following a sweet strike from South Africa’s Hildah Magaia | WATCH

• “They’ve done it! Jamaica, the tiny, tiny Caribbean Island, in only their second Women’s World Cup, who hadn’t ever won a game at this level until Saturday, have knocked out the mighty Marta and Brazil. An achievement beyond belief. They have not conceded to anybody. And against the odds, its Jamaica who have done it.”

• “You’re talking about a player [Marta] that not only changed the game in her country, but changed it around the world. … Unfortunately, they lost tonight, but she’s helped raise the bar and the standards of the women’s game and then been that big name that everbody wanted to cover. You could turn on any channel anywhere in the world and they were talking about Marta, and I think few people will ever be able to say they did what Marta did. Actually, nobody will.”
