Quarterfinal between the US and Sweden. We are here in Brasilia for the Olympic Women's Soccer

Quarter Final between the US and Sweden

on Friday at noon Eastern on NBC-SN.

Our guest today is US Forward Alex Morgan.

Thanks for joining me, Alex.

No problem in this really massive room in Brasilia.

We are in a giant room that you could play probably a full court basketball game in and we are the only two people in here.

There wasn't even chairs so I brought these chairs in just for us.

But thanks for taking the time the day before the game.

You won your group, you're coming off wins over New Zealand and France in a two-two tie against

Colombia.

How do you think the U.S. has played in this tournament so far?

I think we've done well given what the coaches have asked of us. I feel like we played

really well against New Zealand but I felt like there was still some left to offer.

I felt like going into the France game we we weathered a little bit of a storm initially and got the goal and got the win and we're happy to put that behind us and then with the Columbia game we knew we needed a tie or a win and so

obviously it's unfortunate for us to let into set peace schools because we feel like we

are we do have a lot of aerial presence and are good on good ourselves with

attacking and defending set pieces but we got the tie and we won the group and we

feel like now this is when the real tournament starts. You are facing Sweden the group

and the group stage and we feel like now this is when the real tournament starts.

You are facing Sweden tied you guys in the group stage of the World Cup last year
