The three-peat dreams are over for the U.S. women's national team.
Sweden on early Sunday morning eliminated the USWNT in the Round of 16 via a penalty shootout. Despite logging 22 shots in total with 11 on target and having 58% possession, the U.S. could not get past goalie ZeΔira MuΕ‘oviΔ.
On the other hand, Sweden recorded nine shots on total, but only one was on target. And in the end, Sweden won 5-4 in a penalty shootout filled with drama. The Round of 16 elimination is the worst ever finish for the U.S. in nine Women's World Cups. It also ends a seven-year streak of at least winning a medal, whether it be first, second or third place.
Though the U.S. is leaving Australia and New Zealand stunned at the outcome, other countries now have a chance to either add to their respective tally or win it all for the first time.
