Heart-breaking loss for the USWNT in Australia this morning. And they can’t say the team was laxadasical or not mentally prepared or lollygagging. Or any of the other criticisms thrown at them over the past week. They played their asses off for 120 min, and came so very close on several occasions to ending the game in the run of play. But the Swedish goalie came up big for them when she needed to. And The US missed 3 penalty kicks. It’s as simple as that.
