Tonight’s Top Quotes:

• “No, it was not a millimeter. This was years in the making. This is going to haunt the players. I’ll give them credit in saying that they came out and they played; they played well, they just didn’t score a goal. But you can’t stay complacent and not evolve, and that is exactly what has happened. This is on the players, this is on Vlatko Andonovski, U.S. Soccer, that has contributed to this failure and this exit at the World Cup. The team was not prepared and a lot of these younger players, we’re going to see a new era, and a lot of these younger players, I hope will use this as a huge learning experience to get better in the future.”

• “I loved it because it is saying right away, ‘This is not our standard. Anything except winning is a failure.”
  • USWNT veteran Heather O’Reilly shares her thoughts about U.S. Soccer’s statement today on WOMEN’S WORLD CUP NOW | WATCH

• “The question is going to be why did it take three games for the team to actually show up in this World Cup. The damage was done in the Group Stage because of the weak performance in the Group Stage, instead of playing South Africa, you ended up having to play Sweden,  the number three team in the world. Having said all that, this was without a doubt a failure of historic proportions. This U.S. team has never finished worse than third in a World Cup, so obviously going out in the Round of 16 is not good. And when I look at the previous versions of this team that won the World Cup in 2015, in 2019, this is the weakest of the three, and so ultimately, they just weren’t good enough. The way they did it was commendable, but still, the damage was done early on.”

• “That was well-coached and well-planned by England. They were able to defend, had clear structure, clear units that worked hard and they knew what they were trying to do at the end. … That was excellent defending. They made it really difficult for Nigeria to break them down, and defense is the sign of a great team that can go on and win a tournament.”

• “What they’re doing is – they are role models for the next generation of players that we have coming through here. You’ve got young boys and girls who are lookin gup to these players and they want to be the next Sam Kerr. So it’s really changing the face of football in this country.”
