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.”
    • FOX Sports play-by-play announcer Jacqui Oatley after Jamaica’s draw vs. Brazil sends the Reggae Girlz to the Round of 16 | WATCH
  • “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.”

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.”
    • FOX Sports analyst Heather O’Reilly talks rallying around the USWNT after a rough Group Stage experience on WOMEN’S WORLD CUP NOW | WATCH
  • “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.”
    • FOX Sports analyst Alexi Lalas on his STATE OF THE UNIION podcast breaking down current situation facing USWNT as they head into the Women’s World Cup knockout rounds | WATCH
  • “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.”
    • WOMEN’S WORLD CUP NOW analyst Melissa Ortiz on USWNT finding balance of veterans and young players on the field | WATCH

Tonight’s Top Quotes:

  • “I made some comments when I retired in 2021 that I felt that there was a shift within this team, within the federation, within the culture, the mentality. The importance and meaning of winning has changed; what has come from winning has become more important. And you can never take any situation for granted – every time you step out onto that pitch it’s not a guarantee you are going to win, it’s not a guarantee you are going to win a World Cup. And today was simply uninspiring, disappointing; they don’t look fit, they are playing as individuals. And the tactics are just too predictable and really just uninspiring.”
    • FOX Sports analyst Carli Lloyd on USWNT performance in final Group Stage match
  • “I didn’t think that Vlatko Andonovski and company could repeat another 45 minutes like we saw against the Netherlands. But evidently, not only can they repeat it, but add another 45. Because this was 90 minutes of poor play. And you can get together and you can sing Kumbaya and talk about what you’ve done in the past, but this is where this team is right now, and this is a team that is struggling. This is not a team that is going to the Round of 16 with any type of momentum or confidence. But this is still the No. 1 team in the world. And there are going to be a lot of people that are doubting this team. There’s going to be a lot of criticism and I think it’s absolutely fair, but it is still all to play for and there are still things that can happen. But there have to be massive changes from practical perspective on the field and a mentality perspective on and off the field.”
    • FOX Sports analyst Alexi Lalas’ instant reaction following USWNT draw vs. Portugal | WATCH
  • “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. You are lucky to not be going home right now.”
    • FOX Sports analyst Carli Lloyd after seeing USWNT players’ reactions following draw vs. Portugal | WATCH
  • “To remind everybody what happened in 2015: we got a good result in the first game, then we draw in the second game and then we stumble in our third game … There was so much chatter like, ‘are we going out early? Does this team have it?’ –  but that doesn’t help. It doesn’t help the players, it doesn’t help the staff, it doesn’t help the football. We need to get behind the team. And in 2015, our backs were against the wall. We fought back, a couple tactical changes were made. We all know Carli Lloyd made history, but this team needs us to get behind them. They are a talented team. They’ve only given up one goal in three games. They’re very defensive minded group, Vlatko Andonovski, he’s conservative coach, so we have to embrace that. For us, it’s the next game. And just like this team – they survived and they advanced. They don’t even care who they’re playing. They don’t care if it’s Sweden, they don’t care if they go one or two in the group. They’re going to take care of business with the next opponent, and they have this crazy self-belief that they’re going to move on..”
    • FOX Sports analyst Heather O’Reilly recalls and compares USWNT’s 2015 Group Stage experience to 2023 | WATCH
  • “This is the common theme that we’ve had coming into the World Cup. The lack of connectivity, being in sync, being clinical, having progression. It’s the sum of what we’ve been concerned about and they haven’t been able to find a way aside from that second half against the Netherlands. So, if I’m the US I’m looking to my leaders, a Lindsay Horan, a Kelly O’Hara, a Megan Rapinoe and Alex Morgan. How do they take away the only positive half they had against the Netherlands and try to use that going forward because guess what? The Netherlands and Swedish are similar-type style teams. We’ve beaten Sweden before. Yes, they’ve beaten us and they’ve outplayed us and they figured out a way to break us down. But I’m going back to that 45 minutes against Netherlands because really, that’s the takeaway.”
    • WOMEN’S WORLD CUP NOW analyst Leslie Osborne on how the USWNT can readjust before the Round of 16 | WATCH
  • “As soon as this ball popped out for [Ana] Capeta and she was in behind the back line, we thought this was toast for the United States. This one pings right off the post … That does not miss by much and if the U.S. is not awake to the fact that they are moments from potentially being out of this tournament, they better be now.”
    • FOX Sports match analyst Aly Wagner’s reaction following Portugal’s near miss in final minutes of match vs. USWNT | WATCH
  • “We always want to be better, we always want to improve. This result was good enough to put us through to the next round but it’s not good enough for us and we know that. We have to move forward and we learn our lessons from the few things that we can take away from this game but now it’s full focus on this next round.”

    • The USWNT’s Crystal Dunn on making the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2019 roster, breaking the mold, believing in herself and using the pressure around her as fuel | WATCH
  • “Whoever [Vlatko Andonovski] chooses should go out and beat Portugal. They can do the damage in the first half, and then if you want to rest some players, go ahead, but we’ve been told for years, and it is the truth, and you’ve lived it that this team, they are their best when they are under pressure. And I get the angst that exists out there right now in this game. There shouldn’t be any angst about this from an internal perspective and even from the from the outside. This is a team that is built whether you’ve been there or whether you’re coming into it to win, They should go out there, take care of business in the first half regardless who the 11 is and then cruise the second half and get out of this group atop.”
    • FOX Sports analyst Alexi Lalas shares his expectations for the USWNT ahead of their group stage finale
  • “We can not afford to wait a full half until we see that bite, until we see that grit, until we see those tackles. I would like to see that forward line for the U.S. – whoever it is – press high on the pitch and not let them breathe.”
    • FOX Sports analyst Heather O’Reilly stresses the importance of the USWNT coming out of the gate strong vs. Portugal
  • “I’m interested to see whether Rose [Lavelle] comes in. Whether she’s going to be able to play enough minutes that will allow her to start. I think she’s so key, I think you want to maximize how much she can play, as well as making sure that she’s able and you’re not burning it in that moment, she’s able to continue to play in this tournament. But, I hope so, I think there’s going to be an element of freshness.”
    • WOMEN’S WORLD CUP NOW guest analyst Freya Coombe on potential changes to the USWNT starting 11 | WATCH
  • “They outclassed Spain from a technical standpoint, tactical standpoint. Their game plan coming in, how disciplined they were defensively. They were extremely organized, they sat back in that midblock and they just outclassed Spain. They frustrated them completely. Their mentality, we talk about their ruthlessness and being clinical in the attacking third and that would be the difference maker. This was a 90 minute performance and I thought they fired on all cylinders.”
    • WOMEN’S WORLD CUP NOW analyst Leslie Osborne on Japan’s dominant performance vs. Spain | WATCH
  • “And they’ve done it – and they’ve done it emphatically. Australia are Group B winners and they’re headed back to Stadium Australia! … Devastation for Canada. They become the first-ever Olympic champion to be going out in the Group Stage at the following Women’s World Cup. But tonight, it’s all about the hosts. The other host New Zealand went home last night, and we wondered whether Australia would follow them. It looked that way with all the pressure, but they’ve come through it; they’ve done it style. They’ve raised their game when they really needed to in Melbourne.”

These are like the best moments, when your backs against the wall, when there’s a lot of chatter about, you know, everything we should have done or things shouldn’t have done. Yeah, just take that opportunity to you know, whatever way that you get motivated to get motivated, like this is what you train for, this is the best part of the World Cup. This is the part that brings something special out in your game that maybe you didn’t even know was there.”
    • USWNT veteran Megan Rapinoe on her message to teammates today in an exclusive interview with USWNT Insider Jenny Taft | WATCH
  • “So I would like to see Alex Morgan out. You put Lynn Williams in, ok, still got some changes here. Sophia Smith will go in the nine, Trinity Rodman go on the left, Lynn Williams on the right. Now Sophia Smith’s ability to get in behind the backline, and pop off, and go in front of the backline, provides the team with a little bit more width and a little bit of unpredictability. And I think Lynn Williams comes in, she gives that dynamic defensive presence, where she can kind of get up and down that flank and just gives the team a little bit of a different look. You know, it hasn’t all been going well this World Cup, so why not just spice it up and mix it up a little bit.”
    • FOX Sports analyst Carli Lloyd makes her case for the USWNT making a change up front vs. Portugal
  • “You want to play Italy rather than Sweden, it doesn’t take a genius to figure that out. So you go out there and you win this game in the first half, you put your best 11. And Vlatko Andonovski, his best 11 for the last two games, including against the Netherlands, was what it was. I think he changes Rose [Lavelle], but I don’t think you change anything else.”
    • FOX Sports analyst Alexi Lalas provides a counterpoint on the USWNT holding strong with their starting lineup vs. Portugal
  • “They finally showed up as a team and had a team performance. They were really good today, and all credit to them, I thought they were going out with a bang because this was really disgraceful what they showed in the first two matches, but now they’re back in the game. They needed a lot of goals, they scored them so all credit to them, but I’m still not convinced yet.”

Tonight’s Top Quotes:

  • “Lynn Williams needs to start. She should start off on the right. Put Sophia Smith in the nine position, Trinity on the left. Reason being two things, the press – the high press that I feel that the U.S. should have and do – Lynn brings that. She brings that dynamic ability, the hunger. Second thing is width. There’s not enough width that’s being shown in the games and I think having Trinity out in the left, Lynn out on the right and Sophia Smith, able to pop in in front of the backline or get into the backline. I think that that would be key.”

I think for them, the next piece is to be more clinical in the attacking third and trying to put some more goals away so they have a little bit more comfort. But listen, they’re going into this ahead of Brazil … this is a massive win for the Reggae Girlz.”

Tonight’s Top Quotes:

  • “Well done, Nigeria. It is not easy against a very, very good Australian team – in Australia, in the World Cup. They deserve a tremendous amount of credit for never giving up, playing all the way through the end…This is a huge, huge result and it puts Australia in a really, really difficult position in that third game.”
    • FOX Sports soccer analyst Alexi Lalas on Nigeria’s inspiring win over Australia | WATCH
  • ”And that is the goal the Australia desperately needed! The sellout crowd in Brisbane is absolutely delirious! And that changes the dynamic of Tony Gustafson’s halftime team toward now, frustrated in this first half, fine play by [Katrina-Lee] Gorry, [Caitlin] Foord and [Emily] Van Egmond with the finish.”
    • FOX Sports play-by-play announcer Jacqui Oatley following a clutch Australian goal to open the scoring vs. Nigeria | WATCH
  • “I think you do need to make bold decisions in that moment.”
    • FOX Sports analyst and former Matildas striker Kate Gill dishes on the different dynamic a super sub could make for the U.S. | WATCH
  • “I think we were all sitting here like at minute 60, 70, even 80, just like come on – when are you going to sub someone on and specifically Lynn Williams? Because a game like this served so purposely for her because they needed someone to press their center back, they needed someone aggressive, they needed someone to really join in win balls over, be fast on the break. And we got that yes – we did get that out of Sofia and Trinity, but why not add in another dynamic to it, and why not give Lynn a World Cup game experience before moving on to the next match? So it’ll be interesting to see if she does get in the next match, but I do question why Vlatko decided not to make it.”
    • WOMEN’S WORLD CUP NOW analyst Melissa Ortiz on how the USWNT could have benefited from a few well-timed substitutions vs. Netherlands | WATCH

Tonight’s Top Quotes:

  • “Two things: Rose Lavelle, for sure, she came on and made an impact – she’s just a very creative player, good on the dribble. But the biggest takeaway was Lindsey Horan got pissed off. And sometimes, you just need that fight in you, that heart, guts. That’s what ultimately wins you championships and wins you World Cups. Tactical aside, technical aside, they’ve got to have more fight and more guts.”
    • FOX Sports’ soccer analyst Carli Lloyd on key factors that sparked the USWNT in second half | WATCH
  • “Very, very different second half for the U.S. and Vlatko Andonovoski. We judge coaches on the decisions they make and the changes that they make. They made the right ones, ultimately this team came out and not only tactically was better, but just the way they approached the game – especially physically. So, they got punched in the face in the first half and they didn’t do anything about it. They took it to halftime, and they did something about it in the second half.”
    • FOX Sports analyst Alexi Lalas on USWNT’s second-half performance vs. Netherlands | WATCH
  • “Me and Dan [Daniëlle van de Donk] always go up against each other and it’s a physical battle – I respect her so much because that’s how it should be, it should be competitive at all times. Once we got to that tackle, all I wanted to do was score.  Heat of the moment I got a little pissed at her, but Rose put it in an absolute dime and I got on the end of it and yeah – happy for the goal.”
    • USWNT captain Lindsey Horan talks lead up to goal with FOX Sports insider Jenny Taft | WATCH
  • “Coming back from being a goal down is huge, especially in this tournament, and I just think that speaks volumes about the players and the energy we can bring in. The game changers that came in – I thought Rose elevated it when she came in as well. But that’s what this tournament is about: you roll up your sleeves, you find your grit and then you find your goals. I’m a little disappointed we didn’t find more than just one but Netherlands is a good team.”
    • Julie Ertz shares thoughts on USWNT’s feelings following draw with FOX Sports Insider Jenny Taft | WATCH
  • “I’ve got a lot of respect for Trinity Rodman, first, for even talking to us about her father. It’s kind of a drag to constantly have to answer questions about that. But especially by her own admission, because he had limited influence in her life, but she does it with an incredible class and patience. And there is a whole generation that is going to see Trinity Rodman here at this World Cup that does not know nor care about her father, Dennis Rodman, and as she said in the piece, her, it’s not a challenge, her opportunity is to use the power of this World Cup, so that when people say the name Rodman at the end of this World Cup tournament, they are thinking of only one Rodman and that is Trinity.”
