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,"

Really funny!
Megan: “We need a few more lesbians.”
When irrelevance meets ego.
Wasn’t a mural recently hit by lightning there?
“This ended the U.S. women’s soccer team’s 44-game unbeaten streak,”

Doesn’t she have a Victoria’s Secret catalogue to model for?
Wouldn’t it be brilliantly funny to see a kicked soccer ball sailing from the far side of the field into the backs of their heads?
The face would be better.
I hope they fail.
OMG the “queens of soccer” just lost.
I suspect you meant to write:
“the queers of soccer just lost.”
What a bigot!
Ha ha ha, The Bee is right on it!
Inspiring: US Women’s Soccer Team To Boycott Scoring Goals Until Racism Is Defeated
I see what you did there..LOL
It’s not the US team.
They don’t like America, America don’t like them !!!
Pretty simple, show respect for the flag, the country and get rid of rapinoe !!
Karma’s a bitch, bitch.
I have no problem rooting against woke bitches, whether they’re a gaggle of NBA malcontents or a soccer team of a questionably female persuasion. If they disrespect my country, they sure as hell are not representing it. I will happily cheer for their crushing defeat.
Must be partying with all that money they make. Why do they make more than the men?
Turns out fornication and politics cut into their actual practice time.
“Olympic soccer lasts so long that they nearly always get started before the opening ceremony”
Yep not the only Sport I believe. Usually it’s to get the weak teams that in all probability do not belonging in the Olympics one foot out the door before the opening ceremony. In this case it is the USA Women’s Soccer team.
