Shoot, how the US won the last world cup was astonishing. It was like a farewell present from the cosmos or something. They were completely outclassed by England and really by the Netherlands too. They looked old, slow, and unimpressive then. It has become increasingly obvious that the wors thing for US soccer players is to stay in America. Sending players abroad and then letting some figurehead coach stand on the sidelines during major competitions is the way to go. I believe it will be a long time before the USWNT will do anything of significance again. The good news is that the megalomaniacs used t be able to point at th USWNT and say "See we know what we are doing" when people pointed out how , say, the USMNT couldn't beat Trinidad and Tobago in a game where TT was already out and we needed a win.Can't do that now. Sweden made us look foolish.

The back line seems much shorter than the Sweeds.

Our passing wasn’t crisp and accurate at all. The Sweds played great defense and pressured us all over the field. We were definitely outplayed.

Give credit to the Sweds for preparing very well and showing up to play physical and with pressure defense. They were faster, more physical and aggressive. Hopefully, the USWNT will take this loss to better prepare for the next game.

It seems no one on the USWNT played well at all.

It’s ok to lose.
Not good to not be competitive
no reason to expect different outcome v Sweden
In any subsequent game

Subbing Rapinoe and Ertz is like subbing in old and rehabbing
Not good subs except for PKs

[Anonymous]

USWNT and USMNT are now equal in play. Oh well

[Anonymous]

Damn, and I was so looking forward to Rapinoe hype, Rapinoe getting handed gift PKs to lead the tourney in scoring, Rapinoe colored hair, Rapinoe open armed pose post PK goal score and of course my favorite Rapinoe social justice message to teach us all how to behave properly

Ironically Vlatko when faced with a striker who shoul be in prime but is ineffective - Morgan 45 minutes 1 header off target - can only solve it by subbin on a 39 year old Lloyd.

Teams know u only have to stop US players for a half now as they won’t play full time

The US passing is never crisp because they never pass. This is what happens when you can’t pass and you can’t outrun the other team. People have been warning about this for some time now and all they heard back was “we keep winning World Cups, we are amazing and we don’t need to change. Europe will never catch up.”

“Better prepare”????

How do you get faster and more physical in a week? Or younger ?

Us will win next 2 games (hopefully) against the weak teams

That knockout game looks like v Netherlands will be next quality opponent. I don’t like the US chances

Yup. Anyone who watched the last World Cup without Red-White-Blue glasses on saw this coming. The glorified playground approach to playing the game doesn't cut it anymore.
