I feel we played much better than last year against Germany. We dominated the No. 1 team in the world.

We had confidence, especially after Abby's first goal went in. The goal difference is great for the U.S., and should help us get into the final if we play well against France.

Both defenses and goalkeepers had outstanding matches. It's very difficult to play against such tight numbers and tight space, but I am very happy with our team. It's part of our development to learn how to play in this environment and learn how to break down teams even when it's very difficult like it was with France today.

It's going to be a very good match, a very challenging match for our team. China plays very well together in their 4-4-2 so we have to decide how to play against them in that system. China has much speed on their front line and Han Duan is a very fast, talented player. I think it will be a great game and I'm very much looking forward to it.
