U.S. captain Reid Priddy: I thought we made a lot of unforced errors. You can’t do that against any of the top five teams in the world.

Brazil captain Gilberto Godoy: The U.S. played a good match and it will definitely be harder to win tomorrow.

U.S. coach Alan Knipe: A lot of congratulations go to Brazil. They played hard and dug a lot of balls and got a lot of points in transition.

Brazil coach Bernardo Rezende: I thought we played better than when we played the U.S. in Brazil. The U.S. has been playing better in the second match throughout the tournament. We need to learn from the third set.
