Earlier this month several women from the US soccer team turned away from the US flag as 98-year-old WWII veteran Pete DuPré played the national anthem on a harmonica.

The US women’s soccer team was playing an exhibition game against Mexico in East Hartford, Connecticut in a pre-Olympic sendoff game before heading to Japan.

The video is included for all to see.

On Wednesday Sweden stunned the US Womens Soccer Team with a 3-0 victory in the women’s soccer tournament. They’re out.

The US women’s team was just bounced from the Olympics. Via The AP:

The Americans, ranked No. 1 in the world and the favorites to win gold in Tokyo, were riding a 44-match unbeaten streak heading into the match. But Sweden, ranked No. 5, has been the U.S. team’s nemesis of sorts in recent years. The Swedes bounced the Americans from the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games in the quarterfinals, the earliest U.S. Olympic exit ever, by making a defensive stand.

This April, Sweden played the United States to a 1-1 draw in Stockholm, which snapped a winning streak dating back to January 2019 when the Americans lost to France in the run-up to the World Cup. It was the U.S. team’s only draw this year.

True, the Gatewaypundit writer is not much of a soccer fan. However this was more a political statement and the great joy he (and I) got from seeing a bunch of really nasty, deranged far left American women get clobbered 3-0 by Sweden. I am still laughing at them.
As for the rules of soccer competitions like the World Cup, Olympics, The European nations championships etc, I am quite familiar with them. You see, I have bee watching The World Cup for over 50 years and watched pretty much most of the important matches in the just finished, very good Euro 2020.
