SOUNDBITE (English) Jill Ellis, USA head coach:

(On the two teams meeting again in a title decider)

"For me personally it's an amazing opportunity for two great teams. I don't look back. It's the opportunity for these players to have their legacy and write history and I think both teams want that. I can't reflect too much on 2011. I have tremendous respect for Japan and what they are today, not just what they've accomplished in the past."

SOUNDBITE (English) Lauren Holiday, USA midfielder:

(On Japan)

"We have so much respect for Japan and the way that they play the game and I think they feel the same way about us. It's a good game every time we play them, it's a good match up. I think it's going to be a very exciting final."
