An inability to complete the easy passes and a lack of charisma seemed evident from the squad, who looked out of the match despite the deciding goal coming on a penalty kick.

Rapinoe seemed devastated by the loss. “Every player in the locker room has 100 things that we would all want to do better and that’s the most frustrating thing for all of us,” she said. “It’s sad because these things only come around every so often. It’s a tough one to swallow.”
