The United States women's soccer team was just trounced by Sweden at the Olympics — and forward Megan Rapinoe is acknowledging, "We got our asses kicked."
Sweden scored a stunning 3-0 victory over the United States in women's soccer at the Olympics on Wednesday, The Associated Press reports. It was an upset after the U.S. had been the favorites to win gold, the AP notes, while Sweden was ranked No. 5. The loss came after Sweden previously defeated the U.S. in the quarterfinals at the Rio de Janeiro Games in 2016.
"We got our asses kicked, didn't we?" Rapinoe said after the game, per The New York Times. "I thought we were a little tight, a little nervous, just doing dumb stuff."
Rapinoe also told The Associated Press, "Did we expect this result tonight? No. It's frustrating, and it's frustrating that it's Sweden. They found a lot of space on us. I don't even know how many goals we have given up this whole year. I don't remember the last time we gave up a goal. So to give up three is not great."
This ended the U.S. women's soccer team's 44-game unbeaten streak, The Washington Post notes. It was the team's first defeat since a loss to France in January 2019, as well as the first under coach Vlatko Andonovski, The New York Times reports. Former player Julie Foudy observed that the U.S. team's performance was "about as sloppy and lethargic as I have seen from the United States in a very long time,"

Time to bring in the trannies.
“We got our asses kicked, didn’t we?”
Spoken like a true pro Megan.
Classless!
Purple haired America-hating, Subway-hawking lesbian freak said “...it’s frustrating that it’s Sweden”
That’s it, insult the competition, you ingrate and pathetic, ungraceful loser. You disgusting weirdo.
Maybe they didn’t disrespect the flag/country enough…go Sweden…
Gee you think it could have anything to do with NOT focusing on soccer?
Too much attention to politics and not enough on soccer.
Pretty bad that they got beaten by a women’s team.
Hope they get their asses kicked some more.
They deserve it.
Mentally ill homosexual.
Soccer isn’t a real sport anyway. But this is still funny.
Can someone explain to a non-olympic-viewer...
I thought the opening ceremony is this Friday.
Why is there even a game today, Wednesday, to lose?
That’s a shame. Not saying that I’m ever per se rooting against the USA, but if the country has to lose at an event, well, it couldn’t have happened to a nicer bunch of lesbians and lesbian “allies.”
The sooner they come home, the sooner they can lick each other’s wounds.
They didn’t just lose, they got beaten. They lost. OMG the “queens of soccer” just lost.
FU Team USA women’s soccer.
and to think back in 1982 I had to chalk our soccer fields because the university didn’t see women’s soccer as valid. You are able to play in the Olympics because of the women who scraped and spoke for girls soccer. Shame on you, you dumb loosers.
Your uniforms are as ugly as how you play. PATHETIC.
We definitely need more men on the team.
