Following is reaction to Spain beating England 1-0 in the Women's World Cup final on Sunday to win the tournament for the first time:"I'm up in the air right now, I don't have any words for this moment. It is unbelievable, I'm so proud because we did a great tournament. We suffered but also we enjoy it and we deserve it," she told the BBC.
"I thought that Spain were a little bit better than us today and they had a great tournament, so congratulations to them.""While I know how sore today's result must be, let none of you feel defeated, for to have reached the finals at all is an immense tribute to your skill, determination and team spirit in the finest sporting tradition," he said in a statement.
"We have played the football as we wanted but I still think we are not aware of what we have achieved.""What we did is difficult to achieve. Very proud of this team, we have shown how we know how to play, that we know how to suffer, we have believed and we are world champions. "We had a lot of critics, a few lost belief in us, but we never stopped believing. Sometimes football goes for you, sometimes against you.
