Tonight’s Top Quotes:

• “For them [Australia] to go out and hold themselves the way that they did in front of that crowd who’s just cheering them every single way, it’s just a testament to those people, those players. I’m just so proud of what they’re doing for women’s football and what they’re doing for this country.”

• “Ten rounds of a shootout and we finally have a winner, and an unlikely hero in Cortnee Vine. We saw everything – saves by goalkeepers, goalposts hit,  players, fans not looking at some of the penalty kicks and then players celebrating in the end as Australia will have the biggest party they’ve ever had in Brisbane. It is the biggest win in their soccer history.”

• “I think England went through the ringer a little bit tonight. I think the expression on some of their faces – you saw a lot of the players not going around celebrating at the end of the final whistle. They were sat on the ground exhausted, with scenes of Rachel Daly, who sat on the ground, Lucy Bronze sat on the ground, literally exhausted because I think Colombia gave them a fantastic game. … I think that once you get into this stage of the tournament, there’s no easy game, there’s no easy team. But looking at the way in which Australia play, I think England put in a professional performance tonight and I think that they’ve got enough to go on and beat Australia.”

• “When nobody believed, they did. When everybody wrote them off, they didn’t write themselves off. I think they’ve shown incredible grit, incredible passion, enjoyment as well. Not only just the players but the fan base as well, which has helped so much. … My only words to these players on Colombia: I’m so incredibly proud. We’ve made history. And this is so meaningful for Colombian women’s soccer moving forward. It’s going to make waves for the domestic league, for little girls that now are seeing Linda [Caicedo], seeing this whole team.”
