Megan Rapinoe addresses the U.S. women's soccer team's resounding Olympic loss to Sweden
The Week ^ | 7/21/2021 | Brendan Morrow

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 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.

Good call. I remember 12-14 years ago the Slovakian women hockey team lost to Canada like 64 : 2

I was so proud of them!

Just send in just about ANY high school boy’s soccer team, have them “identify” as girls, and be assured of Gold.

Olympic soccer lasts so long that they nearly always get started before the opening ceremony.

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...

They took the WHITENESS out of their uniforms. It’s all symbolic.

I can't root against our USA team, but with America-hating, ungrateful, victim wannabes such as Rapinoe, I can't root for them either.

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.
