Megan Rapinoe’s Outrageous Olimpico Sends USWNT To Bronze Medal Consolation
Well now, that was a little closer to the USWNT Americans were hoping to see all tournament. A shame it only showed up in the bronze-medal match.

Sweden, Canada Want WoSo Gold Medal Match Start Time Changed
TOKYO — Sweden and Canada have asked Olympic organisers to move what is expected to be a hotly-contested women's gold-medal soccer match on Friday at Tokyo's Olympic Stadium to later in the day to avoid the sweltering heat of the Japanese summer.
Land Of The Midnight Sun: The Story Behind The Golden Age Of Women’s Football In Sweden
If you had to name the current Galácticos of women's club football, the answer is pretty easy: Olympique Lyon. The French side won a record 14 consecutive Ligue 1 titles and five Champions League titles in a row before both streaks were ended by PSG this year.
But 20 years ago, there was an unexpected forerunner in women's soccer, a team full of Galácticos that spawned at a time when the original Galácticos side at Real Madrid was still in its infancy.
Uno De Tijera Incluido: Katy Killer Marcó Un Hat Trick En La Goleada 8-1 De Tigres Sobre Necaxa
Katty Martínez no lo pasó muy bien en el último torneo. Las lesiones se ensañaron con ella y redujeron su protagonismo en el bicampeonato de Tigres Femenil. Sin embargo, en este “Grita México Apertura 2021”, el viento poco a poco comienza a soplar en su favor. Prueba manifiesta de esto es el hat trick que Katty Killer convirtió en el aniquilador 8-1 con que las Amazonas derrotaron a las Centellas del Necaxa.
Hindsight Being What It Is, USWNT Roster Selection Was Garbage — Also, We Told You So
Carli Lloyd was not good enough. Megan Rapinoe was not good enough. Alex Morgan was not good enough. Crystal Dunn was not good enough. Tobin Heath was not good enough. The USWNT was not good enough.
Carli Lloyd running sprints alone after defeat may be the lasting image of the USWNT’s 2020 Olympic run, but her questionable inclusion on the team will be a talking point for years to come.
Carli Lloyd Running Sprints Alone Is Heartbreaking Image Of USWNT Defeat
After a surprising 1-0 defeat to Canada ended the USWNT’s quest for gold in Tokyo on Monday, where does this squad go from here? Vlatko Andonovski assembled the oldest, most experienced U.S. side ever for this tournament, but the veterans all largely disappointed throughout.
USWNT’s Gold Medal Hopes Gone After Humiliating Defeat To Rival Canada
The USWNT’s quest to become the first nation to capture gold after winning the World Cup is over following a disastrous 1-0 defeat to Canada at Kashima Stadium on Monday morning.
The U.S. controlled 60% possession and outshot its opponent 13 to three, but it was another largely disjointed performance that all came undone after Canada’s Jessie Fleming converted the game-winner from the spot in the 74th minute.
¿Qué Hiciste, Esthefanny? Arquera De Pachuca Protagoniza El Oso De La Semana
El acto de cortar un centro tiene varios niveles de dificultad. Todo arquero lo sabe. Los hay venenosos y altamente complejos, pero también están esos bombeados, que llevan balones blanditos y que da gusto acurrucar entre los brazos.
Esthefanny Barreras, arquera de Pachuca, tuvo ayer un encuentro con uno de esos, los bombeados y blanditos. Sin embargo, pese a lo fácil que parecía la operación de captura, la jugada terminó convirtiéndose en una pesadilla.
The Last Time The USWNT Faced Canada In Olympic Semis, Team USA Got Really Lucky
The USWNT will face Concacaf rival Canada in the semifinals at the 2020 Olympics on Monday. It’s a rematch of a 2012 semifinal that may just have been the greatest Olympic soccer game of all time. As we get ready for USWNT vs Canada, let’s look back at that thriller from nine years earlier.
If Ted Lasso Can Figure Out Offside, Why Has It Been So Hard For The USWNT To Stay Onside?
There’s a moment in “Ted Lasso” where the eponymous coach yells at an assistant referee: “How is that offside!? No, I’m asking you, seriously: Explain offside to me, it makes no sense!”
Part of me wonders if that scene was based on the true story of Vlatko Andonovski at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
Andonovski’s USWNT has had nine goals called back for players being in offside positions in four matches at the 2020 Olympics. The U.S. has scored eight goals that actually counted.
It’s a major problem, but so far it’s yet to really cost Team USA.
