Post game quotes Mexico Head Coach Leonardo Cuellar It has been a long process. It has been a lot of work. Before, in the past, nothing really happened or was organized with the national team. This is a real accomplishment. What we earned today was another four years of support. We live in a culture where you have to win to get the support and today, these beautiful women have earned that support. We have worked tremendously hard on our mental attitude and character and to be determined. We are never going to be able to measure ourselves at a high level if we don't challenge ourselves to do the right things. We have enormous respect for the United States and for Canada, but we proved today that we can do good things once in a while. Maribel Dominguez was awesome. She deserved it because she has sacrificed a lot. The players deserved this win. They do not get any pennies for this. It has no value financially for them, but emotionally, these are tattoos that stay on your heart forever. Mexico forward Iris Mora It means so much to us and to Mexican women. We've been working for seven years and have never won anything. It's just a fantastic feeling. It's almost unbelievable.
