There were two awful misses. The third was a good shot that missed by a few inches (though Musovic has nothing to do with).

I can’t imagine anyone thinks Vlatko will keep his job

A) there are going to be some really stupid takes coming later today from people who are rock hard that the US lost and would have kicked their dogs if the US had won, and they obviously didn’t watch the game B) a very fitting end for Rapinoe’s final few years on the national team, by far the worst player on the side, yet given her place based on previous reputation and media grandstanding C) Vlatko the idiot chose a hell of a hill to die on. D) I feel terrible for Naeher who did her very best and missed the save by millimeters


Yep. All of this

Gregg is much better than Vlatko

And Gregg should have never been hired and definitely shouldn’t have been retained.

At least the younger players seem to care. Rapinoe, on the other hand, is still smiling and laughing.

Absolutely, didn’t see Vlatko even attempt one behind the back pass.

She was also crying. It seemed as if she was trying to laugh thru the pain, but I thought she seemed pretty upset after.

That being said, it’s coaching malpractice she saw the field.

Rapinoe was very upset and crying. She cared.

But caring isn’t enough. We don’t suit up 22 Rudy’s to play Alabama.

And it’s on Vlatko for relying on Rapinoe like this was 2019.

She’s crying because her 15 minutes over

As much as I’ve dogged her play from 4 years ago and said she shouldn’t be on this team, she was worse than expected today

I didn’t pay any attention to his shoes. Was he even wearing Air Forces or Jordan’s?

I bet he’s an All Birds guy

You’re seeing what you want to see.

She did laugh after she missed her pk.
After the game she was absolutely crying.

Rapinoe was terrible and has been for a while. That’s no surprise but still infuriating to see her constantly get on the field over better/younger options.

But the biggest disappointment of the tournament for me was Morgan. She was just bad in every match.

I think he was rocking some type of velcro
shoes.

Rapinoe positioned herself in a selfish way to be the face of the national team. During the game, Aly Wagner said some things that were fair critiques and expressed surprise she was brought in as the first sub.

I hope that other USWNT affiliated ex players go further and say she wasn’t a suitable option.

Rapinoe has positioned herself so that any man who criticizes her is a misogynist or anti-LGBT, among casual fans who want to cheer specifically for a woman’s sports team and don’t know much about soccer.

Because her career is over, not because she let the team down.

bullshite. You're wrong.

At one point I thought she was hunched over crying (teammate was blocking her from view) but then she stood up and was laughing. Yes, she had some tears but she was laughing the entire time.

I thought it was weird af... she looked exactly like the Swedish team when they would show them celebrating. Laughing with tears.

I've only watched her play in the World Cups. She played poorly 90% of the games I've watched her in.
