The United States has crashed out of the Women's World Cup after losing a dramatic penalty shootout against Sweden.

The Americans created most of the chances during the match – but were foiled at key moments by Swedish goalkeeper Zećira Mušović, who made crucial stops against Lindsey Horan and Alex Morgan.

The Swedes will play Japan in the Women’s World Cup quarterfinals on Friday.

Meg demonstrates hubris is her downfall. Imagine your last touch on the ball as a professional is one of the world’s biggest flubs. She sailed that PK into field goal territory.

Now watch some NFL team give her a tryout as a placekicker.

(Not exactly Kathy Ireland in ‘Unnecessary Roughness’, is she?)

This competition has never been about country representation. It is a group of women that competed as a team using the US moniker because they are required to be a citizen of a country that is competing. Their only represenation is for the opportunity to compete and is for them not the country.

If they wish to have a team that is not a country team, then they can’t because they are not going to be citizens of the team they play for and violates FIFA rules. So these professional players are just using the US to further their paychecks because without a citizenship country, they can’t compete. It’s all about the money and notoriety. So they are not about the patriotism. They are about themselves.

I’m going to be so embarrassed when the Swedish blonde team stands and sings along with their national anthem.

Thanks for the future nightmares

This rabid no hails from my shasta county and will probably run for redding City Council first,

then if she and her fellow machine worshipers will try and get her into sacramento, then D.C

and the White Drug House.

Too bad Rapinoe didn’t break her tibia in her final game.

Poseur president and his stooges are worse.
