Multiple things can be true at the same time. - I support Team USA in international competition in whatever sport. - I am sorry for the ladies they are out. There's a lot of new talent that I'm rooting for. - I am satisfied that Rapinoe flamed out in such a poetic fashion. She is one of the most unlikable sports figures in a while for undeserved hubris. I'm not gloating about it, but karma was served there. - This squad was not as good as they (or the media) made them out to be. They were lazy (never seemed to step to the ball and were constantly beaten to 50/50 balls), they did not move as a team, and there were countless times where they just dribbled straight into traffic, thinking they could just wish their way through - but always just lost the ball. Watching any of the remaining nations still on the pitch show the difference. - The manager sucked, but there was still enough talent on the pitch for the US to have overcome. Am I glad they're out of this tournament? No. Was that a deserved exit? Maybe... maybe not. Was it representative of their play and effort? Yeah, I think so. The gleeful gloating at their exit is unbecoming, especially by those with a single focus... but not allowing criticism of the impacts of the unlikable factors in this edition of the USWNT on the rest of the team isn't a good look either. Multiple things, etc.
