U.S. loses to Sweden on penalty kicks in earliest Women's World Cup exit ever.
“I am proud of the women on the field,” said U.S. coach Vlatko Andonovski. “I know we were criticized for the way we played, and for different moments in the group stage. I think we came out today and showed the grit, the resilience, the fight. The bravery showed we did everything we could to win the game. And, unfortunately, soccer can be cruel sometimes.”Two-time World Cup participant Julie Ertz was in tears after the match.
Sweden has never won a major international tournament, either the World Cup or the Olympics. The closest the team has come is World Cup runner-up in 2003. They finished in third in the 1999, 2011 and 2019 editions, and won silver medals in the last two Olympics.They were nearly eliminated last Tuesday by first-timers Portugal, but eked out a 0-0 drawThe Americans looked far better against Sweden, dominating possession and outshooting the Swedes 5-1 in the first half alone.
The United States was without Rose Lavelle, who picked up her second yellow card of the tournament in the group stage finale against Portugal and has to sit out against Sweden.
