#1 now fall into obscurity

#2 ...That sound the US team hears in the distance is the sound of their endorsements drifting off into the void.

This may well be the worst soccer team we've sent to the Olympics in decades, and I have not the slightest sympathy nor comfort for them. They spent their time practicing protests instead of penalty kicks, and preening about with raised fists and wokeness instead of drills. As Chris said, let them fall into obscurity - there is no worse or more fitting sanction for what they've done.

#3 I've read some bitter lefty comments here and there about the satisfaction many people are getting from this team's loss. It goes right past them that they are just feeling the same way we do when they crap all over America with their woke bullsh*t.

Thank you President Trump currently in exile.
You nailed it as usual. The media attention hungry Purple Hairs fell flat on their faces.

I have to seriously ask something many likely are wondering.

Is this best the USA has to offer? Or were they pick for their Far Left Leanings and Anti-USA political agenda ?

#6 They wanted more money. Easy, win. They couldn't even do that. Now ya don't get paid.

Did ya know the men's soccer team is in the gold round and hasn't lost a game yet? Yep, they will get paid.
