Quotes Iceland vs. Switzerland
// 28 August 2008


Switzerland's coach Milenko Tomic: "We had trouble stopping #14 (Helena Sverrisdottir), she dominated through out the whole game. Our next game will be against Montenegro on their home court and that will be a difficult game since their team is propably the best one in our group".

Agust Bjorgvinsson, Iceland Head Coach: "It's always stressfu starting out in a competition like this and we are happy to make it through the start and get a win right away, we started slow in the first quarter but after that our defence clicked and the team played well after that.  We tried to stop Twehues as we knew she was their key player and we did a good job at it"
