«This is my first day,» said Holiday (via olympics.com). «Literally my first day. This is the first time I've been on this stage; you always want to make an impression. I just came out and played as hard as I can. We had a chance France is a good team. They play very, very well together. They were consistent throughout the whole game.»

We have to keep going; we have to break that barrier. I'm very positive about tonight. France is a good team. I feel we're getting better every game.»
