The U.S. Women’s National Team has built a reputation of being one of if not the best international teams in the world. Unfortunately for the U.S. women, the squad has probably seen its worst days since its dominant run began in 2015.
After its back-to-back World Cup Finals wins in 2015 and 2019, the United States’ Olympic semifinal loss to neighboring Canada on Monday is a hiccup for the squad.
At surface level, making the semifinal and playing for a bronze medal is a feat for any team in the Olympics, but the standard has realistically become higher for Team USA.
