Yup, and theres nothing better than seeing that purple haired RAPPIN - HO-chi-minh go out as a loser and the blatant responsible player for the loss.
Women's soccer has come a long way in the last 25 years. Traditionally the Eurotrash saw team sports, other than field hockey, as only for boys but that changed in the 90s and girls started playing soccer too. The US can't just run roughshod over them anymore
Despite the terrible people (at least person, that dominated the coverage) they’re still the USWNT. The fact they lost and get knocked is a testament to how good they have been. Making the cup and losing in the second round is considered a flop for them. Most countries that’s extreme success (consider the USMNT) the biggest piece I can’t stand about the negative attention they’ve gotten, is the continued push that they somehow “leveled the playing field” in pay when in reality that’s totally false. As noted, while soccer was on hiatus like the rest of the world, the USWNT all made millions more than the men. They negotiated a guarantee in their contracts to get paid even if not playing. That guarantee is the difference in men accepting the risk of potentially $0 when they don’t play, which is exactly what happened.
