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,"

I see what you did there, and the implications involved.........
I could not care less that the womens soccer team lost. I care even less what this les has to say about it. They/she don’t/doesn’t represent the US as far as I am concerned.

Hey! Maybe we should put a team mural up on a wall in Minnesota!

Despise this bitch and her annoying voice and puke-colored hair and will never eat at Subway again.
Just send in just about ANY high school boy’s soccer team, have them “identify” as girls, and be assured of Gold.
and I hope those anti American punks continue to lose.
Softball games also started...
NBC Sports Network was showing softball and soccer games live...When a lot of US viewers were in bed...Japan is on a different time zone...
2016 Olympics were in Brazil...Similar time zone as US...
I am sure that USWNT will get out of the group stage...I cannot imagine the team not getting out of the group stage...In 2016 Olympics, USWNT was defeated by Sweden in a knockout stage game...
“Your uniforms are as ugly as how you play. PATHETIC.”

They took the WHITENESS out of their uniforms. It’s all symbolic.
I'm sure that many among the team are likely proud to represent America, however I don't see any of them going out of their way to say that the America-haters don't speak for them. (Maybe this happens, I just haven't seen it.)
This from a Dad who in years' past took his soccer daughters to see the US Womens team in numerous intl contests, including a remarkable World Cup.
I’m gratified to see a few of these women still honoring the flag.
If I could see into the future and know with certainty that all the USA wokesters were gonna lose, I might actually watch the Olympics.
