Even Pellerud Quotations

I was very, very pleased with the first 55 minutes. We had crisp passing. We were challenging all over the field. We played strong on the ball and scored two nice goals. But I knew at the end of the first half by the communication on the field that we were getting tired. We were starting to be late on tackles and starting to hesitate. Birgit started winning a lot of balls on the air and on the ground.

We played another solid game. Maybe more solid than spectacular.

We became more hesitant. We gave the ball away too easy.

We all feel that we are close,. We have much better depth along the roster than we have ever had.

The remainder of the game was constant pressure towards the Mexican goal, but we could not finish the attacks with sufficient composure.

It's nice to start the international season with a win - in particular when the win is a result of a dominant and quite consistent performance. After a number of good and well-timed penetrating plays in the first half, we managed to capitalize three times.

Chelsea I don't know much about, but signing those two players for sure they have a high goal.
