What They're Saying
England head coach Mark Sampson (via FIFA): "I can't really talk about the match right now, but I can talk about my team, who have sacrificed so much, and who have given sweat, blood and tears, while continuing to smile throughout. The players deserve to go back home as heroes. Laura Bassett is devastated after the own goal, but without her we wouldn't have been in this semi-final. It was a horrible moment, but you just have to look at how the team has supported her to understand that she'll be able to get over it. This group is so close-knit that the players are now friends for life."
Germany head coach Silvia Neid (via FIFA): "[Losing to the United States in the semifinals] will be very hard for all of us, but in a way we would like to have a nice conclusion to the tournament. So after [Wednesday], we will focus on the match for third-place on Saturday."
