This team is brutal. The offense is impressive as hell until it comes to actually getting the ball in the net.

Reminds me of the U.S. men's Olympic basketball team before the “Dream Team”, talented but not playing as a team.
I love the commentators going in on them after the game. I hope Lloyd's comments make their way back to the team. As they said, there's confidence and then there's arrogance, and they're definitely the latter. Seems they are more interested in creating TikTok bits than playing winning soccer.
I have watched the 1st 2 matches. They get a lot of shots, but most are not quality shots.

Rapinoe shanked hers to seal it. So many chances to win this in PKs.
I think they would have easily lost to Japan given their play.
This will be the first time the USWNT. has not advanced in the Knockout Stage to the Quarter-Finals, and the first time to not finish at least in 3rd Place. They have not played well this Tournament and did not deserve to advance far, but it is a shocking early exit for the USWNT none-the-less. That being said, Sweden (#3) is now the highest rated team remaining and now has the target on their back.
Japan was my pick to win it after the knockouts were announced.
Well deserved L. 1 goal in their last 3 games. Need to make 1 of your last 2 PKs and you can’t even get the shot on goal.

Sophia Smith also shanked a potential winner. O'Hara hitting the post was also brutal.
USA deserved to win in regulation. Sweden's keeper was in the zone tonight and single handedly kept them in the game. This was by far the best the US has played and they created so many chances, the ball just never hit the back of the net.
Ninja Edit: I also want to state that Rapinoe should have never made this team. I know they added her for her experience, but her quality just wasn't anywhere near what itn needed to be. I also think Alex Morgan played way too many minutes and didn't create anything like she used to.
