What They're Saying
Germany head coach Silvia Neid (via FIFA): "We had judged them [Ivory Coast] to be better than they were today. We were very focused and concentrated heading into the match. We scored early on, and stood our ground, we outran them, and we are glad that we took home the three points. Côte d'Ivoire came up quite a bit, it was a different style, and it was very easy to get behind their lines. We know that Norway will be much tougher on Thursday."
Norway head coach Even Pellerud (via FIFA): "The first game of the tournament is always nerve-wracking. We are happy to have three points, but we have to improve aspects of our play against other teams. We're ready for the game against Germany on Thursday. Congratulations to Thailand on reaching the World Cup for the first time, that is a good accomplishment and the Thai team presented themselves in a very nice way."
