    There is no way they should have lost that game. They outplayed Sweden the entire match.

    Three missed penalty kicks. They weren't blocked, just missed. Painful but they have only themselves to blame.

    Multiple missed opportunities during regulation. That game should never gone to kicks.

    They would have won if they sang the national anthem while playing.

    You've got to make your free throws. And penalty kicks.

    Too much politics in sports now. Just play the damn game.

    Seems like it would help to make at least one point blank shot.

    This is the first time in the history of the Women’s World Cup since 1991 that the USWNT has failed to finish in the top 3.

    How can ANYBODY look at out USWNT and be “put off”? Thats ridiculous. They mean so much to this country and young women everywhere.

    MVP of that game was that Swedish goalie! She killed it out there. Tough loss for the US. I am no expert, but I feel there is about to be a big overhaul. The older players will get fazed out with the coach.

    That's the problem (for me) with soccer/football. Americans have no control over making the sport better.
    The World Cup happens every 4 years and after several rounds and matches the Final can end decided by penalty kicks.
    I don't understand how that is a satisfying conclusion to anyone, even the winner.

    So it’s your opinion that the winner of the World Cup isn’t satisfied with winning it all in PKs……SSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTT!

    Yep, Swedish goalkeeper was great!

    Australia’s turn tonight, and we haven’t been playing great. Although the last game against Canada was much better. I’d feel a lot more comfortable if Sam Kerr was fit.

    Out of all the teams left Japan is the only nation to have previously won the World Cup, so very good chance of a brand new winner. Our Prime Minister has promised us a public holiday if we win the whole thing, so fingers crossed!

    Been listening to local broadcasts of the games. I’ve learned that in Australia they call McDonalds “Mackers”… Get Mackers delivered to your door with McDelivery.
