I said hell yes!! Did multiple fist pumps. Said things like "You kneeling disrespectful to your country jerks got just what you deserve!!!!"
It was nice to see the team get to slink home.
Maybe next time they will stand at attention, hand over their hearts and sing the words to their national anthem.
I think it is great they are coming home disgraced!!
But that's my opinion!! What say you??

Yup. So much for the third championship.
I did not cheer, but was not disappointed.
You are not alone. I also cheered.
Only heard about it from posters who described the failure. The best part is that it was the neon lesbo America hater who lost it for the team.
May we never hear about her again - although that's wishful thinking.
I was a bit ambivalent about the outcome. I like to see the U.S. do well in international competitions so was a bit disappointed. On the other hand, since this team has little respect or appreciation for their own country I was a bit elated that they failed. Conflicting emotions are sooo CONFUSING! Maybe if I have a beer I'll get over it. Bob
if we have to lose or withdraw from a sport, a women’s one or soccer is best. But it’s a shame our team has no respect or pride.
lI am not in favor of the disrespect, but in all honesty, I watched the replays several times and did not see anyone kneeling, and half the girls had a hand on their hearts? What did I miss?
I cheered too, especially since the loss fell squarely on the shoulders of Rapinoe. Spotlight on the woke hero...all eyes waiting...FAIL!!!!!
So glad it was her that blew it.

I fail to see why their loss passes as news.
Apparently we do, and apparently they were playing somewhere, and were disrespectful to the USA, and did not play well.
I put a few bucks on Sweden against the USA degenerate trans and WON!
Karma
Finally some good news for a change.
Seems there are some strange people in the world of soccer.
Glad they lost, and even better at the hands of the head whiner.
I can't support any team or individual that will not stand and respect the flag or the national anthem. So no, this loss doesn't bother me in the least.
Bingo, @BobJudy . Spot on comment.
Rapinhoe is a narcissistic gal who openly proclaims her dislike for America. You didn't see any kneeling, because she is 38 and washed up, and she is not on the starting team so she is not at midfield when the national anthem is played.
Rapinhoe didn't even play during the regular game. She played in overtime and her play was mediocre at best. She was selected to take the one, of five penalty kicks. She missed her kick and we lost. Had America-hating Rapinhoe made the penalty kick the US would have won.
Her career is finished and she leaves the biggest stage in women's sports a chump and a loser.
I really really tried to care. Sorry, I totally failed.

All of the above. The woman bit the country that fed her from the day she was born. Gave her everything: a game to play for money, a platform of free speech, the freedom to live an openly unconventional lifestyle. She paid America back with hatred and contempt.
Seeing the loss hang around her neck like an albatross is the perfect "you receive on what you give" moment. Long may it last for her.

Just to let you know - the beer worked!😁Bob
Too much time spent there! Lets just move on😝
I knew nothing of such team, their record, their latest news. I'm OK with that.
I am sorry the US lost. I really don't care who you, they, or anyone else sleeps with.
Her missing the kick was the best thing that could ever happen to her.
That clip is being played all over the internet
He Dog, I don't care who anyone has sex with (Except for children) but when the athletes who are representing our great country are busy telling us in words and actions that they hate this country, screw 'em.
If they don't respect our country, they don't respect their fellow countrymen. Which means they don't respect you or me or anyone else. I'm not going to root for people giving me the finger by their actions.
Hell ya I cheered. I cannot stand them and wish they would all defect to some other country like maybe Mali.
I just hope that Rapinhoe fades into obscurity like he/she deserves. If the media ignore "it", we won't hear about "it" in the future, but that won't likely happen. "It" will be made a celebrity sports announcer and crammed down our throats for years! 🤮
Holy moly! That made me do a double take!!!

It all rolled right past me...... I have no interest in following soccer........men, women or children...
Great article on Rapinhoe:
I might lose some sleep over it this week. NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I always thought there was a connection between them two. Thanks for sharing best laugh I’ve had all day.
indifferent here...........except goodbye rapinoe........and good riddance
No
Not respecting the USA and not saying a prayer might have upset someone or something.
Just did not have any Good Luck on their side for some reason.
It kinda seemed their was a greater power type spirit against them. (due to, well you know)
The ball just would not go into the net. Why????
I didn't cheer because I pay so little attention to those attention seeking women of the night that I didn't even know they were playing. I figured they were losers so that part is unsurprising.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
The woke choke....
The US did in fact play a good game. The first 90 minutes we had 3 very good shots on goal, clearly our best game of the tournament. We should have won 3-0.
However, the enemy goalie was fantastic, and she blocked every shot.
For overtime, coach put in Rapinoe and she played poorly in the 30 minute overtime. She did more harm than good during the overtime, and then missed the penalty kick that would have won the game.
She gets paid $7 million. The US would have been way ahead to pay Megan her $7 million to stay at home in America. We could have put a fired up rookie on the field for $300 grand, in Megan's place, and the rookie probably would have made the penalty kick.
