match quotes
U.S. captain Kristine
Lilly
Winner of Golden Ball as the
tournament’s Most Valuable Player, and the Silver Boot as the tournament’s
second leading scorer.
For us in this game, it means
a lot. It means a lot that our team kept pushing to get a goal. We were
playing Canada who is very combative and sends a lot of long balls. They
send a lot of numbers forward…Aly coming in the second half, I think,
did an amazing job for us because they were getting tired and she had
time to find us on through balls, and she found me. My cut back was what
I knew I was going to do because my right foot hasn’t been on, and
I caught her on a good angle and I hit it well.
These games were good. We saw Denmark, who we saw in Portugal (at the
2006 Algarve Cup), we saw the Netherlands, who we haven’t seen in
a while, and Australia, who we haven’t played in a while. So we
played a lot of teams that are strong, a lot of teams who are World Cup
teams, and a lot of our players on our team got a lot of playing time.
They got to experience some of the top teams in the world…Kacey
White got her first cap and we finished some goals off. Overall, it was
a team effort from our staff to our players. It was a great tournament
for us.
Everything was excellent, from the stadiums we played at to the hospitality
from the Koreans, and just the games. We had some of the top teams in
the world play here and I think that’s great for the fans to see,
and seeing the Korean team play as well.
When you receive an MVP honor it’s always nice, but you always look
back to your team because they helped you achieve that.
