Tonight’s Top Quotes:

• “This is a very important decision, and I think U.S. Soccer has to get this right. They have to take their time, but they also need to quickly figure out what they’re going to do with the Olympics looming. I think players shouldn’t be involved in this. In the past, players have been involved in picking a coach, and I think somebody needs to come in – they need to be ruthless, they need to make tough decisions, they need to manage the group, the team. It’s not just the team, it’s the staff, it’s the support staff and all of that. They need to come in and create a culture and a new identity with this team, because it’s going to look a lot different with a lot of these veteran players most likely not going to be here for the future, so this is a very, very important decision and a coach should not be friends with the players.”
• FOX Sports analyst Carli Lloyd on what’s next for this U.S. Women’s National Team program | WATCH

• “I think this has to be a priority for Matt Crocker, the technical director of U.S. Soccer, after they dealt with Gregg Berhalter on the men’s side, this has to be a priority. And I think is a good job. There’s a lot of people who are going to want this job, because this is about now leading a resurrection of this team. This is about a return to glory, but whoever comes in, they need to clean house. They need to clean house on the field in terms of players, and in terms of staff, and start again to a certain extent – not a complete clean of house – but they need to get rid of some of these players that have been around. They’ve been wonderful soldiers, some of them legends and champions when it comes to Morgan, Rapinoe, Dunn, Ertz, and Naher and O’Hara and others out there, but it’s time for something, this change, especially with the Olympics. Use the Olympics next summer as an opportunity to say, ‘You know what? We’re open for business, and we’re looking for the best 23 women come the next World Cup, and better than what we saw here at this World Cup.’”

• “This team is not only inspiring their country, they're inspiring a confederation.”
• FOX Sports analyst and former Concacaf Head of Women’s Football Karina LeBlanc celebrates Jamaica’s run to the Round of 16 | WATCH

• “It’s history in the making. Watching these players celebrate this history, it’s representing CONMEBOL and being the only CONMEBOL team is massive. I’m just thinking about everything we’ve gone through as a country as women. Like, this isn’t just about the women’s soccer team. This is about all women in Colombia and South America.”
