She went so far as to call it "dark comedy" and a "sick joke", such was her dismay.
...With the USA leading 3-2 on penalties on a tension-filled night, substitute Rapinoe missed her spot-kick before Sophia Smith and Kelley O'Hara also failed to score in the shootout.
When Lina Hurtig converted the decisive penalty by the finest of margins, eliminating the four-time world champions, Rapinoe was overcome with emotion.
The Olympic gold medal winner hoisted up her shirt in an attempt to hide her face.
Ten minutes after the game, the television cameras picked out Rapinoe being consoled by team-mate Lynn Williams after the 2019 Ballon d'Or winner's dream of ending her USA career on a high were dashed.
"This is like a sick joke," said Rapinoe. "For me personally, I'm just like, this is dark comedy. I missed a penalty."
..."She's actually kind of an awful person," wrote journalist Brad Polumbo in the Washington Examiner. "Rapinoe has soccer skills for sure, but her entitled, flippant, and unpatriotic attitude is the epitome of first-world privilege."

Rapinoe knows much about being a sick joke.
She ruined that team with her woke BS. Bullied them into hating the US and destroying their morale and motivation.
“She’s actually kind of an awful person,” wrote journalist Brad Polumbo in the Washington Examiner. “Rapinoe has soccer skills for sure, but her entitled, flippant, and unpatriotic attitude is the epitome of first-world privilege.”
For all the horrible writing that passes for journalism these days those 2 sentences are absolutely spot on perfect.
I’m glad she was humiliated. Karma is a witch.
Soccer is a sick joke in itself. It’s thousands of times worse when played by commie lesbian freaks.
“I know that I will walk away from the game having got everything out of it that I possibly could”
Yeah, like making money doing commercials in a country you openly profess to hate instead of being a team player.....and it finally bit her ass.
Not to worry though, unfortunately we haven’t seen the last of this little troll.
I strongly suspect she will sign a lucrative contract with espn no doubt so she can continue to espouse her hateful vitriol.
A couple of days ago I said to myself, I hope they lose.
Just because of this unpatriotic woman’s attitude towards the USA.
Looks like I got my wish.
Imo, they lost because of her.
Poor, poor Icarus.
A search for fame ends in infamy.
She’s the “Greta Tintin Eleonora Ernman Thunberg” of the gay movement.
Next thing she’ll be on The View and given a $50 million advance for a book that no one will buy and no one will read.
That’s how it works in the land of anarchy. And under Biden US Taxpayers will pay for it all.
Money Laundering is big business in Washington DC these days.
Glad she missed her shot. It symbolizes what gays give to society. It’s a LOSS
And there are repercutions for those who live it.
I read elsewhere that if you watch her trotting back to the team there was a small smile on her face as if she missed on purpose ...
Good riddance to an arrogant failure as a human being who brought failure and embarrassment to American women’s soccer.
If it’s WOKE it’s BROKE !!!!!
She wasn’t the only one to miss, but if she’d scored they would have won (there would have been no extra rounds).
It was a beautiful way to see her last touch of the ball for the US; can’t even say the goalie saved it...
“I know that I will walk away from the game having got everything out of it that I possibly could”
Real team player there.
Our “president” gave her (rhymes with witch) the Medal of Freedom earlier this year yet he publicly advocated taking the same award away from Rush Limbaugh when he was dying of cancer. This person is all for equality - when it benefits her. Thus, she demanded and got equal pay for women’s soccer which is odd since no one watches it - they bring in 1/4 of what the men do and were defeated by a 15-year old boys’ soccer team in Texas. But then again, Jill Biden is a “doctor” and her husband is “president” so anything goes.
The Queen of the American Lesbian Soccer League.
Cheer up, scrote. At least you won’t have to listen to that hated anthem anymore.
The lesson of the U.S. Women’s Soccer Team: Don’t believe the hype.
