Other countries are catching up. They cant keep relying on their old core.

I enjoy watching the "America first" and "Patriotic" conservatives cheering the fact that the US lost.

Unfortunately, the squad chosen was a bit too old for a tournament where you're playing three games a week, and it showed in their performances throughout. Disappointing.

They've won the World Cup 4 times (91, 99, 15, 19) and the Olympics 4 times (96, 04, 08, 12)

I still don't understand why Canada got the penalty kick. Someone please explain it to me since I don't watch soccer unless it's the Olympics.

Edit: I mean why was it a penalty on USA instead of a free kick for Team USA or a Yellow Card on Canada?

Is womens soccer at the olympics that prestigous?

I know for mens it is essentially an under 23 tournament and it is not that big of a deal. US didn't qualify but they won the concacaf nations and gold to cups which are more important

I mean, they are the most popular and successful soccer team from American soil in history. They deserved more than what they got.

Watching the replays, looks like a pretty clear foul on the US defender, you can't just kick the shit out of the opposing player's leg and trip them (even if you were aiming for the ball). Pretty easy call to make with replay.

It looked to me like the Canadian player knocked her over but I didn't see it in slow motion. I just saw the replay while watching another event. I didn't bother watching it since a related topic spoiled it for me.

They do care when they win, but now that the US FNT has been all about LBGT, I guess they lost their focus.
