"I thought that we deserved to win this game."
"We want to play better and to find those little pieces of the joy in the game as well."
“I don't think there's a lot of positive momentum that you can really take from the group stages in terms of performance.”

"Right now, I have no idea."
"The performance was crap."
"I don't blame people for holding a high standard [for us]."
"Having this incredible opportunity in front of us in the round of 16, facing Sweden, a team we know extremely well, I think there's no question we are highly motivated to play this game."

"They have to come out energized, motivated and get the job done."
