Perhaps if they spent a little more energy on soccer skills, and a little less energy attempting to be the woke champions of US sport, the outcome may have been different. Alas, there’s a great number of Americans who shrug because USA women’s national soccer has evolved into a political assembly who happen to play soccer. The team’s egotistical, arrogant, pompous and virtue-signaling attitude is a considerable turn-off.
This is the same team that wears ‘Black Lives Matter’ on their uniforms, and kneels instead of stands for the U.S. national anthem to showcase to the world just how woke they are. Team Captain Ms. Rapinoe refuses to sing the U.S. national anthem; kneels during ceremonies to make her hatred for America visible; and grabs every microphone to tell the media about her politics in an effort to increase her woke resistance credentials.
Team USA soccer loses in the first round of the Olympics to Sweden. Meh, it’s a headline because, well, karma or something.
TOKYO (AP) — Sweden didn’t have to bunker down on defense against the Americans this time. Stina Blackstenius scored a pair of goals and the Swedes stunned the United States at the Olympics with a 3-0 victory Wednesday in the women’s soccer tournament.
The Americans, ranked No. 1 in the world and the favorites to win gold in Tokyo, were riding a 44-match unbeaten streak heading into the match. But Sweden, ranked No. 5, has been the U.S. team’s nemesis of sorts in recent years. The Swedes bounced the Americans from the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games in the quarterfinals, the earliest U.S. Olympic exit ever, by making a defensive stand. (read more)
As my boy Connor mcGregor would say “Get the fook outa here”! If you hate the USA as much as they do
They’ve stopped showing Olympic boxing on TV because they need the female audience. Instead, we get endless gymnastics, swimming and diving. Will they show the transgender weightlifter?
Waiting for Gwen Berry to accidently let go the 20 lb hammer too soon on a throw and it nails a North Korean competitor sitting on a nearby bench in the head.
US State Department Official:”Why, yes, President Un, we can extradite her immediately to Pyongyang this afternoon to stand trial for murder…”)
well said. ” The team’s egotistical, arrogant, pompous and virtue-signaling attitude is a considerable turn-off.”
The sanctimony is unbearable.
I don’t watch the Olympics. Most of it is to see who’s the best at exercising. That said…
They get what they deserve.
Now I’m interested. Let alone their usual Gold medal, can they even win one game as the social justice woke US soccer team? They flat out lost to Sweden.
Good. Glad they lost. as a post-script: pretty pathetic when an American has to root against the ‘american’ team
I could not be more pleased with this lose. The ingrates…..
They blew it. A chance to get invited to the White House and have Bidung sniff their hair.
I believe Xidung will invite them to the white house anyway.
That Rapinoe-Oh The Media Ho-Ho will be all over that…
That was a good one??
Haha
I feel sorry for the three that are standing and saluting during the anthem. It is insulting that they should be have to play on a team with a bunch of kneelers in order to have the privilege to represent their country.
These three are literally taking the high ground over the trash on the team.
They deserve it. If they had any decency they would not be part of this “team”
I couldn’t, could you?
Yeah but, they’re still wearing the BLM shirts.
You know, the org. that trashes peoples businesses, burns stuff down, shuts down traffic all in the name of “helping” black people.
It was “brave” of them to keep standing, but they’re still uninformed Useful Idiots.
Play Soccer, people. And leave the other stuff to those who are actually paying attention.
In today’s world, I wouldn’t be surprised if they were removed from the team citing a lack of team cohesiveness.
Except for the 3 team members that stood and placed their hands over their hearts – great!! that purple lgbt anti American creep rapinow deserves to be kicked off the team
Psst. Nobody cares about your politics or your endorsement if you can’t play the game.
I would suggest they caught the Kaepernick disease where political views become more important than what put you in the spotlight.
The last 10 times Colin Kaepernick was in the Red Zone, he fumbled or threw an interception 8 times. He was yanked, then fired and still is crying about it.
selfish …. ungrateful…. foolish ….dweebs
The Swedes must have watched tape of the 13U boys team in Texas who beat the US Women’s soccer team. What this team needed was more transvestites.
It was U15 but the fact remains that it’s embarrassing.
The U15 Boys team won because they brought their own balls 🙂
The same applies in hockey. The Canadian national women’s team prepares by playing 15 year-old boys.
The outcome of any of these games only matter because they involve the national teams. Without the flags and anthems, they might as well be pick-up basketball games at the Y.
Really!
Get some trans “women” on this team.
You gals need some MUSCLE!
People don’t realize that women’s soccer is only big in certain countries which is why the USA does so well. In most of the world “Football” is considered a “Boys sport” and girls don’t play it, anymore than Canadian girls play ice hockey or American girls play hardball baseball.
US Team getting slammed, mocked, derided over at Daily Mail……………
excellent

The US Women’s soccer team taking a knee and losing during the Olympics pretty much sums up Joe Biden’s America…
Well God did invent irony so…
The Trump Curse is real.
I wish Trump cursed more stuff!!! Heck, I wish he cursed the IRS building!!!
It would be great if lost they ALL games.
Not a team that I’ll ever root for, not in their present anti-American mind-set anyway.
From an article at Faux News –
Last November, members of the U.S. women’s soccer team notably wore Black Lives Matter jerseys and kneeled for the national anthem in the Netherlands in solidarity with the BLM movement. As The Daily Wire reported:
“We love our country, and it is a true honor to represent America. It is also our duty to demand that the liberties and freedoms that our country was founded on extend to everyone,” read a statement that members of the team posted on social media before the game, which ended in a 2-0 defeat against the Netherlands.
“Today, we wear Black Lives Matter to affirm human decency. We protest against racial injustice and police brutality against Black people. We protest against the racist infrastructures that do not provide equal opportunity for Black and brown people to fulfill their dreams, including playing on this team,” the statement continued.
“As the United States Women’s National team players, we collectively work toward a society where the American ideals are upheld, and Black lives are no longer systematically targeted.”
“Black Lives Matter,” the statement concluded.
They sure have an odd of showing love and honor for the USA.
These twitletes (or is it tw_tletes) have not a clue as to the incredible and mighty awesomeness of our country.
Rapinoe: “I deserve this!!”
Yes. Yes you do.
“The kneeling and everything, I think it really solidifies who I am as a person and the things that I stand for.” —Megan Rapinoe (USA National Women’s Soccer League Team Captain)
Clearly Miz Rapinoe does not stand for winning Olympic medals.
Thank you to the 3 patriots standing on the team. This loss was not your loss. It is your L-O-S-E-R teammates loss. Find a new olympic team please. Ones who love America and women’s soccer.
We See You.
When I was a kid, I used to cheer for every American Olympian. I didn’t care what sport it was. I felt such pride in my country. Today, I am cheering that our country’s women’s soccer team lost. It’s strange, in both instances, I am cheering because I have pride in my country. How the time’s have changed…
I feel the exact same way. I’m 68 and for the first time in my life I hope they lose. I also am sorry for the decent girls on the team.
They obviously didn’t have an adequate male-to-female transgender team member component.
FC Dallas under-15 boys squad beat the U.S. Women’s National Team in a scrimmage
The match was in preparation for Thursday’s USWNT friendly versus Russia
Apr 4, 2017
https://www.cbssports.com/soccer/news/a-dallas-fc-under-15-boys-squad-beat-the-u-s-womens-national-team-in-a-scrimmage/
In preparation for two upcoming friendlies against Russia, the U.S. women’s national team played the FC Dallas U-15 boys academy team on Sunday and fell 5-2, according to FC Dallas’ official website.
I’m shocked it was an Under 15 club. I know a good Boys HS team could beat them. But then the same is true of the WNBA. A good boys HS team could beat teams in the WNBA.
The women on our National soccer team have never dealt with the basic question of why their team, their sport matters? It matters because it is the National soccer team. Duh..
That loss to under 15 year old boys is also a warning about our reducing military standards in order to bring about greater “equity.”
The International Olympic Committee is woke, so the US needs to dominate all female Olympic sports (which I don’t give a crap about any more than any other sport) by loading the teams with male-to-female transgenders.
When the entire world begins to bitch about that, maybe reality will win.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) updated its policy for transgender athletes in 2015 to be more inclusive and also remain fair to all athletes. “Surgical anatomical changes” are no longer required as that policy may “be inconsistent with developing legislation and notions of human rights.”
Transgender male athletes are eligible to compete in the male category without restriction. In order to compete in the female category, transgender female athletes must declare that their gender is female for a minimum of four years and must monitor their testosterone level below 10nmol/L for at least 12 months prior to their first competition and below 10 nmol/L throughout the period of desired eligibility to compete in the female category.
I need to add that to be completely “woke” AND fair, we need to load up the male Olympic teams with transgender females-to-males. This will further increase the move to reality.
I applaud the three who honor our country, played their best, and represented who Americans truly are. Thank you!!! ❤️??
Too bad these clowns are still in the running to move on. This is tournament “Group Play”. The top 2 teams in each group get to move on to the next round in Japan. There needs to be 1 more loss or a tie and one of the other teams win twice… hopefully their next opponents gets inspired and beats them..then its all over.
Their remaining opponents in Group Play are New Zealand and Australia.
Australia has allot of girls who play US College Soccer and in one of the Professional Leagues. They have shocked the US before and hopefully this is their year to do it again.
Now they can go visit the White House and cry on Joe’s shoulder. He’ll award them special “Woke” medals he had made up to console the poor dears.
Your master is very happy.
Seven sad widdle girlies, and their purple-haired commie captain. Crying in my beer here.
Hooray! They’re losers! I loved the USWNT before they went the traitorous, anti-USA route and became toxic role models.
KARMA
THAT IS WHAT THEY DESERVE FOR DISRESPECTING THE FLAG
MICKEY DOUBLE FINGER
As a kid in the 70s, I questioned the soccer toe in the door of local kid’s sports. I told everyone I knew that soccer was a 3rd world commie sport.
And here we are.
Sorry, soccer is a great and beautiful game. I hail from the land of Cruijff and love to watch Messi play, nothing commie about that. The wokism infiltrating these sports (any sports, Kapearnick was NFL) is sad and stupid. England lost the European championship just last week, because their coach went Woke and assigned to last three penalty takers based on non soccer skills criteria. I don’t blame the kids that missed, they were thrown to the wolves.
I apologize for my all-inclusive statement. That’s what I say to my soccer loving, commie relatives. No place for it here.
Sorry but Association Football and communism have nothing to do with each other.
You can love Association Football and be a conservative. My entire family back in the old country proves this -me too.
Yeah… the day Cruiff showed up at the Nou Camp should be the day we should start counting our football history. BC: before Cruiff, AC: After Cruiff.
1972.
And Leo is simply astonishing. He does need support from the team, vide the mess the Argentines do with their National Selection.
Association Football is a very strategic game that takes some learning and appreciation. I must say that the current high definition, large TV screens allows the field to be shown, not just the old “through a prism” shots of yore. So, you can see how the player move about and how the plays develop.
Americans by and by are accustomed to fast games like basketball (used to be great) or games that operate in short bursts of action, American football and baseball. There is very little long term on the field strategy for football, everything is done to 15 seconds per play.
It can be fun to watch, but yeah, I much prefer Association Football. It is a thinking game.
Antisocialists, many years ago as a young man, my husband played professional soccer in Europe. He was neither a communists nor a socialists. Our National Football League is every bit as bad now as what the women’s team (minus three players) have done. None of them deserve our time, attention and especially our money.
I apologize for my all-inclusive statement. That’s what I say to my soccer loving, commie relatives. No place for it here.
This is great news, may all other woke U.S. athletes meet tell same fate
I used to LOVE watching sports on TV and going to games in person…until it ALL become nothing but a political platform and all semblance of “the game” was lost. I just can’t stomach watching how acceptable it is to HATE the very country that gives THEM the right to hate. There just is no decency anymore.
Couldn’t happen to a more deserving group of snowflakes.
Except the three standing.
Bunch of Losers.
Capital “L” on the forehead right there.
Being an American is a lot more than a soccer team. God first, Country second. That means anyone or any group that is anti-America is our enemy.
(((((((((((((((((( LOOOOooooOOOOOOOos ers ~>! )))))))))))))))))))))
~yeah ?♀️?♀️?♀️?????
National pride, and the pride that comes from playing for your nation – one you are proud of – is a source of athletic strength, power and stamina. USA! USA! is a rally cry to the team when you are playing for the USA. Who is the coach of that team? Obviously no Herb Brooks (“the miracle on ice”). As I was told once – I don’t care if you believe in God or the small block chevy – when you are in the pit – believing in something, anything, will help. In contrast, the woke – USA sucks – we suck – is not believing IN anything. Isn’t this basic sport psychology ? Meh, they would probably call that mansplaining. Be the #Ubermench_of_wokeness and believe in nothing. It’s just not a winning attitude <<– simple as that.
Good.
So they LOST their 45th game in a row?
KARMA!
Besides, real women athletes drive race cars….Soccer SUCKS.
You run into parked cars without your helmet a few too many times.
They were UNDEFEATED for 44 straight games and lost this one.
No comment on your judgement regarding definition of sport…
finally some good news
Never thought I’d live the Day to say this about a losing U.S. anything, but for these useless shrikes – GOOD. To hell with every single one of them.
It is a sad state of affairs when I am cheering for Sweden over the reputed US team in women’s soccer. But until they start acting like the US team should act, I guess I’ll be a “citizen of the world” as far as supporting them.
I hope they get embarrassed in their next games and go home in disgrace at the bottom of their bracket. Sorry, no national pride for these losers. And whatever they are being paid……..cut it in half just PO Rapinoe.
Couldn’t have happened to a nicer group of libtards! Hoo Ray for Sweden and Congratulations!
GOOD and DOUBLE GOOD!
Yea, meh I shrugged too. These ‘women’ soccer players just like everyone else scrambling for the bona fides in wokeness just got their ass handed to them. About time, my first thought was thank God – now they can’t get up on the Olympic national stage and disrespect our country and/or flag bcz who knows what bs they had planned had they won.
God works in mysterious ways 😉
This wokeness/ gender pronouns Canadian bullsh$t has infected everything including our most famous 12 step program founded 86 years ago. They have effectively removed the words ‘men & women” from our pre-amble and are working on removing ‘gender specific pro-nouns’ from all our literature.
The best tho is we have removed the word ‘inmate’ bcz apparently in Canada that word is offensive to prison activist groups and therefore everyone else. Yep we now have to call people in jail i.e. inmates…”person in custody”…
Pure insanity. Keep your powder dry. 😉
This is what happens when you bounce that ball off your empty head too many times.
Proper Preparation Prevents Piss-Poor Performance, ladies.
Except for the 3 team members standing with palms over their hearts (but especially for rapino ) :
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
TS, baby !
