Sweden stuns US 3-0 in women’s soccer at Olympics
By ANNE M. PETERSONan hour ago

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.

This April, Sweden played the United States to a 1-1 draw in Stockholm, which snapped a winning streak dating back to January 2019 when the Americans lost to France in the run-up to the World Cup. It was the U.S. team’s only draw this year.

“Did we expect this result tonight? No,” said U.S. forward Megan Rapinoe, who did not start but came on as a substitute in the 64th minute with the score 2-0. “It’s frustrating, and it’s frustrating that it’s Sweden. They found a lot of space on us. I don’t even know how many goals we have given up this whole year. I don’t remember the last time we gave up a goal. So to give up three is not great.”

Woke Liberal USA Soccer Team Gets Completely Obliterated, Humiliated In Olympic Opener After Kneeling Stunt


--- Quote ---On Wednesday morning, the social justice warrior US women’s soccer team got completely obliterated in a crushing 3-0 loss to Sweden, breaking their 44-game win streak.

In a disgusting stunt, the women’s team took a knee, defying the US flag on the world stage. SHAMEFUL!

“U.S. came into the Tokyo Games with the number one ranking in the world,” the Daily Wire reported. “Sweden is ranked fifth in the world and notably knocked out Team USA on penalty kicks in the 2016 Olympics in the quarterfinals.”

Wingnut:
Earlier this month several women from the US soccer team turned away from the US flag as 98-year-old WWII veteran Pete DuPré played the national anthem on a harmonica.

There loss against the Swedes is a wonderful thing.

Was pink hair there to absorb the loss?  I sure hope so.
