Throughout the tournament, the media have had huge access to the players for post-game interviews. For the most part, answers are straight down the line but, from time to time, the players are allowed crack a joke. Here are a quick few of our favourites from the women's competition

Charlotte HARRISON (NZL) felt bad about poaching Gemma FLYNN's goal against Argentina: "Was it going in? Oh no, she's not going to like me very much!”
