Top Quotes:

• “Every minute of that game was fun, and the crowd was amazing, and I think it was a good place to start in this tournament – but I know we have so much more to give, too.”
• Sophia Smith reacts following the USWNT’s 3-0 win over Vietnam | WATCH
• “It was a very special day, and obviously being able to celebrate 200 (International appearances for the USWNT) in a really meaningful game in a World Cup – which will be my last - is the best. What other way would you want to do it?”
• USWNT legend Megan Rapinoe talks with FOX Sports reporter Jenny Taft about reaching her 200th cap | WATCH
• “We talk about the opportunity and the platform that is the World Cup, and while Sophia Smith is a star from the NWSL perspective, it’s a whole other level when it comes to international level. This could not have gone better for her to announce her arrival at the international level.”
• FOX Sports lead soccer analyst Alexi Lalas on Sophia Smith’s big game vs. Vietnam | WATCH
• “We talk about all these thing she’s done off the field and been outspoken about, but she’s committed to her craft. She’s a world class crosser of the ball, she has ice in her veins, she’s not scared of big moments, actually she relishes them and shows up at her best in them.”
• FOX Sports analyst Heather O’Reilly dishes on her former USWNT teammate Megan Rapinoe | WATCH
• “This is so good from the United States, it looks rather simple, but this is scripted…She’s coming from a lower area, that means the timing of her run is going to be onside. She’s goaded her into a higher position, gets in behind, pulls herself and then keeps that one on the carpet to slide it past.”
