U.S. women’s soccer team had hopes of a third consecutive Women’s World Cup title, but a missed penalty shot on Sunday took the team out of the running.
First, Megan Rapinoe, who has led her teams to victory multiple times, missed a critical penalty shot in the Sunday game against Sweden. Then 22-year-old U.S. forward Sophia Smith missed as well. Finally, defender Kelley O’Hara sent her shot into the right post.
