Australia vs. Ireland, Women's World Cup
Norway defender Maren Mjelde spoke to CNN in the aftermath of her nation's 1-0 defeat to co-host New Zealand.
The captain said that despite the disappointment, the team was focused on improving for the final two group stage games against Switzerland and the Philippines.
"It's disappointing for us because, opening game, we want to be better. We need to do better than this," Mjelde said.
"We have two more games and we need to stick together and evaluate and move forward. I think it's a lot of winning the first ball [...] get control of the game.
"I think we were too far away from each other. And it's hard to to get into the right rhythm."
