What They're Saying
England goalkeeper Siobhan Chamberlain (via BBC): "Women's soccer is huge there [the U.S.] and they are massive stars, bigger stars than the men's players. Their high profile makes it a bigger occasion, but we need to take it as another game and not worry about them. USA are the biggest team in the world. If you look for it, there will be more hype for this game, which is great because you will get more people interested in it. But when you're in the tunnel and it's 11 players stood next to 11 players, it's just about how you go out there and get the job done, regardless of the name on the back of the shirt."
U.S. head coach Jill Ellis (via My Central Jersey): At this point, we're in the process of evaluating and also building and that's why we play strong teams, to test ourselves,"
