Tonight’s Top Quotes:

• “I think it’s just kind of getting on the same page. It’s really hard to break down a low block; I felt at times there was some individual brilliance of taking on the dribble, but need a little bit more 3 v 2’s, a little bit more combinations down the center of the part, pull them out a little bit, suck them in, then you can go wide. Coming out in the second half, they did a better job of putting in crosses and stuff like that, but ultimately, they just need some more time together.”
  • FOX Sports analyst Carli Lloyd talks tactics and what the USWNT needs to do before their next game | WATCH
• “Emily Fox, she’s one of the fastest players on this team, and I think today what she showed was [just] that. I love how when she would receive the ball, she would look at either Lindsey Horan and have that option there, or have an option out wide, or go at a defender with speed. … So many ways of her versatility that she’s able to give to this game, and I think what she did was just open up the field and show what she can bring from her outside back position.””
  • FOX Sports WORLD CUP NOW analyst Melissa Ortiz on her favorite takeaway from the USWNT’s opener | WATCH
• “Denmark finds a way from the corner at the death against China. They were building, they were pushing and finally they break through. Dana’s dynamite indeed as Vansgaard a player to get on the end of it.”
  • FOX Sports play-by-play announcer Jenn Hildreth calls Denmark’s game-winning goal vs. China | WATCH
