Really the worst part of it for me isn't the loss itself, since as many said it kinda felt like it was going to come from someone.


It's just the poo poo I'm going to hear from a dumb sexist about it.

The whole thing about anti US racism is particularly funny because

1- very few teams in any sport hold a candle to uswnt jingoism.
2- some Americans appear to be genuinely puzzled by the rest of the world enjoying the US losing.

That first claim seems dubious to me but I’m definitely with you on the second.

Also Americans are not a race in any sense of the word.

This whole this owns because imo the US played well.

Sweden stacked defense and they still had like 11 on target, it was just one of those days where it didn't go in.
Sweden didn't have a shot until the 75th minute lol.

The worst crime was the shootout which is all about composure and that's the part they should feel bad about.

I try to tell myself the idiot sexists were just gonna find a way to be assholes no matter what. It is exhausting though.

But I think it's a kick in the rear end we needed, hopefully it's a learning experience.

(Also lmao at the idea that it's somehow racist to dunk on us.)

I have to laugh at all the commercials featuring her I had to watch, considering how underwhelming she was at the tourney.

Edit: maybe this will inspire team USA to give a poo poo at the Olympics next year and actually win gold?!

For real, Vlatko is a poo poo coach for not simply telling Smith "if you've got a step on your defender in the corner, CENTER THAT poo poo. Don't look, don't wait, just get that orb in the red zone."

So many times she had the open look and just sat there until the defenders got set. Where on the planet does it happen that if you wait on centering somehow a striker gets open?

I mean there's "lacking a killer instinct due to youth" and then there's "assuming the defender 2 meters behind me won't catch up if I wait 3 seconds to pick my shot"

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.
On the other hand, it’s insanely frustrating to have a fast tricky winger constantly getting into great positions towards the corner flag, then just whipping in aimless crosses with nobody in the centre.

That’s more on your strikers arriving in the box at the right time, or making a sharp run/step to create themselves a yard of space. Great wing play isn’t that useful if you have nothing to aim at.

The fact that Americans are not a race is only a minor part of why "people are happy because racism" was funny.

ngl I really enjoyed the op's mini-meltdowns. That one with anti-American racism in particular.
