The US Chokes And Gets Eliminated From The Women's World Cup By Sweden On Penalty Kicks

That’s it. That’s the lowest point in US Women’s soccer, arguably all of US soccer. I know the men missed the World Cup in 2018, but this is the best team in the world. At least supposed to be. 

There were plenty of problems. Injuries, coaching malpractice but the players choked. One win over a bad Vietnam team. One goal in 3 other games. Impressively bad. 

They even had a bail out chance in PKs and blew it there. You gotta put it on goal. You can’t miss the net. Those missed PKs were horrific, even though Naeher did her part.

So there it is. The worst showing in the World Cup. The lowest point of US Women’s soccer. No other way to put it besides a choke.
