However, the silver lining is that their journey ended early.<\/p>\n<p>After narrowly making it out of the group stage with a scoreless tie against Portugal, the team faced a crushing defeat in the round of 16 against Sweden. This\u2064 early exit marked their earliest departure from the women&#8217;s tournament in history.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s even more ironic is that\u2064 the\u2064 deciding shot came from \u200bMegan Rapinoe, the most controversial player\u200b on the team \u2062known for her woke activism.\u200d Rapinoe missed badly in \u200dthe penalty shootout, sealing their fate.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">I\u2019ve kicked a soccer ball zero times in my life and I could do better than this<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/AHq35VI33A\">pic.twitter.com\/AHq35VI33A<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MattWalshBlog\/status\/1688345547482992640?\">August 7, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Despite the controversy surrounding Rapinoe&#8217;s ultra-progressive politics, there&#8217;s no\u2062 denying her\u200d athletic prowess.
