USWNT’s World Cup Run Comes to an End After Penalty Shootout Loss to Sweden, Despite Accomplishments Being Celebrated by Many

The U.S. Women’s Soccer Team’s run in the 2019 Women’s World Cup came to an end on Sunday, as they lost to Sweden in a penalty shootout. The match remained scoreless for 120 minutes before the shootout, which Sweden won 5-4.

The loss was met with criticism from right-wingers, who had been simmering over the team’s decision to stand in silence when “The Star-Spangled Banner” was played ahead of their World Cup games. T.J. Moe, a contributor for The Blaze, told followers, “I’m glad they lost.”

The loss was especially hard for Megan Rapinoe, who missed a crucial penalty kick during the shootout. After the game, she explained why she appeared to be laughing. “For me personally, this is dark comedy, that I missed a penalty,” Rapinoe told FOX Sports.

Despite the criticism, Rapinoe and her 22 teammates have been praised for their accomplishments in the tournament. The team won all four of their group stage matches and defeated Spain in the Round of 16.

The USWNT’s exit from the Women’s World Cup has been met with a slew of offside posts from conservatives. However, the team’s accomplishments have been celebrated by many, and they have been praised for their hard work and dedication.
