"We're very satisfied with the win - and yes, it was a dream start. To beat the current gold medal holders and group favourites 2-0 is a fantastic achievement. It was the first time I've beaten the USA as a coach and it was the perfect time to do it. We may have had a bit of luck with the two goals, but we limited the USA to a handful of chances - and that was extremely pleasing for me," Bjarne Berntsen, Norway coach
