Heavily favored to win gold entering the tournament, the USWNT posted a mere 1-1-1 record after getting smashed by Sweden 3-0 in the opener, defeating a weak New Zealand squad, and then barely beating the Netherlands. Rapinoe and her merry band of wokesters then lost to Canada before squeaking by Australia and securing a disappointing bronze medal.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>Perhaps then, it\u2019s no surprise that coach&nbsp;Andonovski decided to go a different route.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll these players are very good players \u2014 we know that they\u2019ve done so much for this team,\u201d Andonovski <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/soccer\/united-states-usaw\/story\/4585066\/uswnts-megan-rapinoealex-morgan-miss-out-as-andonovski-names-shebelieves-roster\">told<\/a> ESPN of the veteran players he decided to leave off the roster.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut right now I want to give a chance to players like Sophia Smith and Mal Pugh and Catarina Macario, Ashley Hatch, players that have earned their spot on the national team or earn their spot back.
