    Team GB head coach Hege Riise: “We are all happy with two wins now. It puts us in a good position, able to rest players and recover well. We are very happy.

    "We put Sophie Ingle in more as a defensive player against Japan. I think that worked well.

    "Of course attacking-wise we lacked a little more. But we knew that could happen. I feel like the connection has got better and better each game and that’s what we need to get used to.

    "That will be during the tournament as well. In the second half we changed the formation a little. We came out well and controlled the game much better."

    'No one better in the box than White'published at 13:50 British Summer Time 24 July 2021

    FT: Japan 0-1 Great Britain

    Lucy Bronze is so good getting down that right hand side into attacking areas, she pushes defenders back.

    Put the ball into the box and there is no one better than Ellen White to sniff out opportunities and we saw that with the goal.

    She got across the defender, anticipated it, was brave and it's a fantastic finish.

    FT: Great Britain 3-1 South Africa

    From that great result for GB women's football team, to a win for GB's men in the hockey against South Africa.

    'GB are good enough to beat Canada'published at 13:41 British Summer Time 24 July 2021

    FT: Japan 0-1 Great Britain

    Casey Stoney
    Former England and GB international on BBC TV

    You want to top the group, you want to play third place rather than second-place in the Dutch and Brazil group.

    Beverly Priestman the Canada manager will know a lot of these players very well having been an England assistant under Phil Neville.

    So, it's a big job for Team GB but they are good enough to win that game against Canada on Tuesday.

    'Qualification is main thing'published at 13:37 British Summer Time 24 July 2021

    FT: Japan 0-1 Great Britain

    Casey Stoney
    Former England and GB international on BBC TV

    Team GB will want to play better and they will need to as the tournament progresses.

    But in tournaments you need to win and they've got three points on the board, six points and they are through to the quarter-finals and that is the main thing when they go back into that dressing room, that they've qualified.

    'Fantastic from White'published at 13:33 British Summer Time 24 July 2021

    FT: Japan 0-1 Great Britain

    Casey Stoney
    Former England and GB international on BBC TV

    It's fantastic for Ellen White.

    It was the timing of the goal, it's so difficult to mark that.

    She comes across the front of the defender and for the defender it's really difficult to see the run and see the ball.

    Ross Quinn: Good win by Team GB there. Got it done but I'd rest a few against Canada. Players like Little and White need a rest.

    Caroline Weir lifts a free-kick over the wall but it just lacks that little bit of dip and lands on the roof of the net.
