She could have gone out a winner but she chose to continue to use the national team as a political platform to further her agenda. F' her.

You forgot the loss of Macario as well. I agree with everything you wrote.

Hmmm… I was told that more money would prevent this situation.

Weird.

Kinda like reparations.

This circus's was created by media, who took a loud mouth player who wouldn't be happy if you bathed her in cash and gave her a podium instead of reporting who what and how. Thank goodness A&M didn't hire journalism head that does this instead of telling truth.

I am not surprised that Sweeden defeated the US 5-4 on penalty kicks to eliminate the US from the women's world cup. After the US defeated Vietnam 3-0, they struggled to a 1-1 draw against the Netherlands and 0-0 draw against Portugal in their previous matchups. This is poetic justice the consequence of the US women's soccer team spending too way too much time on woke agenda instead of improving their skills.


So when you agree with their politics, it's not a distraction?

They had some key injuries and their coach struggled to put them in the best possible situation. If you think they lost because of their politics, you are out of touch.

The little blue haired boy divided the team with her bull***** Not everyone on the team agrees with glorifying mental illness. YOU are out of touch and it's proven with every post you make

The think that pissed me off the most about Rapidhoe is that she made me dislike a sports team representing the USA.

Go away beotch.

I despise the politics so much on this team. I'm happy to see them sent home and shut down.


Besides equal pay, what were the politics of the team?
Kneeling for the anthem and then, later, standing, but refusing to put their hand over their hearts...

You know, the kind of petty political **** that people watch sports TO AVOID.


Rap was also all about bio men playing women's soccer

Probably mainly because she's washed up and it won't impact her career now
Not one female deserves to be shutout of an opportunity to play on the women's national team because of her position. Nice gesture on her part to female athletes of the world.

So they're incapable of compartmentalizing and being professionals? Sorry, I don't buy it. Just like I don't think a "lack of practice" led them to being knocked out. This team already had some flaws and injuries didn't help.

Some of you are acting like you won something because they lost. Lots of projecting.

And I don't agree with anything Rapinoe "fought for". So don't come at me with that weak ass *****

The Posters here hate every player on the team, hate everyone on the coaching and training staff, hate every fan of the team or anyone who was associated or supported it in any way, and hate the country that funded and sent the team over there?

Or just hate a player or two in particular but are quite content that the entire organization and fanbase were disappointed just so that particular player or two were disappointed?

I didn't list Macario (Mewis, Press and a few others) because she hasn't played with the team in over a year so her loss should have had minimal impact to the WC. Pugh and Sauerbraunn's injury happend in the last few months which left Vlatko little time to adjust.

We'll likely never know how much of a distraction -- or downright cancer -- Rapinoe and others were in the locker room.

The media is already bending over backwards to compile hagiographies of Rapinoe and paint her detractors as sexist, etc. So they would never dig into that storyline. Look what happened to Carli Lloyd when she dared to criticism them.

The other players are intimidated because they've seen how their teammates were bullied in the past for not going along with the protests.

But any time you have someone who puts his/her personal platform above the team, you have someone who is creating dissension. It's human nature. And dissension makes it difficult to perform as a team.

I didn't see any of the other players standing up to that purple haired ***** when she said she was ok with men taking spots on the women's team.

Should have spent more time practicing instead of doing Subway Commercials and Protesting.

Macario is probably the best player on the team.

If it can happen on a college team at U Penn with Lia Thomas, how much more on a national level where everyone has to appear united? Dissenting options have most definitely been muted.

Tell me you've never been on a team, without telling me you've never been on a team.

Cancers definitely do happen. All it takes is a single narcissistic head on a team to completely destroy it. It's clear that Rapinoe has a different agenda than just winning. All she talks about and acts on is her perceived victimhood. Her goal isn't winning, it's being a cause for "change". This is evident in her on-field and off-field responses after losing.

As the lead and the face of the team, her POV most definitely affected their focus, desire and purpose there at the World Cup. If players want to play, or want the ball, or to be included to plays, they have to fall in line with her mission.

You can't compartmentalize away someone like Rapinoe.

Haven't ever followed US Women's soccer but this thread peaked my interest to read up on them a bit and wow, that was only the 4th World Cup loss ever by the US team.

USA has absolutely dominated World Cup Women's soccer. We are the equivalent of Bama college football with any loss in that tournament a big deal

Sadly Morgan is just as crazy as Rapinoe. She's just hot and doesn't try harder to get in front of a microphone than to score like Rapinoe does.


Morgan is completely overrated in her looks , she looks like a mouse , no t and A either
Shut your mouth.
She is a leftist though.

It takes a special brand of arrogance to turn as many Americans as they did against a USA national team in an international competition . Especially in women's soccer which most would otherwise just rather not care about at all.

When the most prominent player on the team says that THE MOST IMPORTANT THING she got out of playing for the USWNT is "equal pay", I'd say that there was not the focus on playing the sport that there should have been.
