        All that work paid off for us.

        Look, the US was way too cocky, was playing like an empty shell, not everyone is afraid of this team anymore. If anything the past few tournaments leading up to this they weren’t playing sharply and scraped by. This was coming. Rapinoe should not have been called up, I honestly feel bad for the younger up and coming players who lost a slot to washed veterans just because they can still sell merch… US has a few new talents, they really need to rebuild.

          If anything Sweden underestimated them and got cocky, the US played decently the first half of this game and really had Sweden struggling.

      also interestingly i think my comments from sdf didn’t make it to world lol, lemmy is still buggy on federation huh. Granted world was down which was why I went to comment via sdf but still XD it makes it to other instances, just not world itself. weird.
