The U.S. women’s soccer team lost in the semi-final against Canada, dropping them to the bronze game.
It’s weird. The world’s greatest women’s soccer team stumbled after causing a ruckus about social justice and pleading for money.
Oh. It’s the first time in 20 years Canada has beaten us. It’s also Canada’s first time to the gold medal game after winning the bronze in 2016. They’ve never placed higher than fourth place in the World Cup.
Canada converted a penalty kick at the 74th minute.
I guess some people consider the penalty controversial, but the refs had the right call.
Maybe they should have scored a goal? They had possession 56% of the time while Canada only had 44%.
The U.S. also had six shots on goal. Canada only had two shots.
Sweden demolished the U.S. 3-0 in the first match of the Olympic games. The U.S. won the next matches, but barely and looked lethargic throughout them.
The women beat New Zealand but tied with Australia. They had to beat the Netherlands with penalty shots in order to make the semi-finals.
I always cheer for America, but I’m meh on this.
The U.S. women’s team got recognition after they won the World Cup, but quickly ruined it with their protesting and whining about money.
I don’t believe in coincidences. A crash and burn like this after spending so much time concentrating on everything except soccer is not a coincidence.
Our women’s soccer team should have dominated every single match during the Olympics.
You do not have to stop protesting, but maybe, just maybe, make your job your main priority.
