There was a moment early in the first half of the United States women's national team's opening match of its Olympic campaign when midfielder Rose Lavelle, dribbling into Sweden's half with the ball at her feet, looked around furiously and put her hands out, as if she was lost. Even without being able to hear what she said in Tokyo's cavernous Ajinomoto Stadium, it's easy to imagine it was something along the lines of, "Where is everyone?"
That, in a nutshell, was how the USWNT began its 2020 Olympics, looking confused in a 3-0 loss to open Group G.
The defeat was notable, first, because the team rarely loses. It came into Wednesday's match unbeaten in its previous 44, with 40 of them wins. Its last loss was in January 2019, at a friendly in France.

the defeat was also notable because of just how bad the loss was. Confused expressions abound as players, including Lavelle, looked for an open American to pass the ball to but couldn't find anyone. As Sweden swarmed, pressing and bossing the midfield, the Americans looked rattled and gave the ball away too cheaply.

"We got our ass kicked a bit," Megan Rapinoe said afterward.

Dykes taking a knee, disrespecting the Nation they’re representing. Karma, baby.
Didn't get the message? There was a carpet munching party.
Glad they lost and hope they lose every game.
Karma’s a real biotch...
“Rose Lavelle, dribbling into Sweden’s half with the ball at her feet...”
She’d qualify for Pres or VP nowadays...
omg, sometimes, people tell dirty jokes here.......
The Swedes genuflected as well to the false god of Communism. Who cares about the Olympics? I would just as soon see Japan shutting down this display of political correctness due to COVID-19, or whatever.
Karma’s a bitch.. just like the kneeling dykes.
Woke choke = broke. Ha ha happy now Subway, from one perverter to another.
Their dykes beat our dykes.
Superspreaders?
Whatever happened to “Politics stops at water’s edge”
I never thought I would root against a US Olympic Team, but I cannot support a team that denounces the United States on foreign soil.
Not hard to understand when the nation they are supposed to represent despises them.
it is funny too see a bunch of American hating lesbos lose like this. They weren’t representing the US, they were representing BLM and maybe the CCP. They need to go cry to them.
I’m fairly certain actually playing soccer hasn’t been the point of the US Women’s Soccer Team for quite some time.
DELIGHTED they lost. Hope they lose all their games and they can go away mad.
