Sweden hammered the USWNT 3-0 in their Tokyo 2020 Olympics opener, as Team USA saw their 44-game unbeaten run ended in dramatic fashion.

Stina Blackstenius scored in each half and Linda Hurtig added another as the USWNT hit the woodwork twice but were second-best throughout as Sweden deservedly won the Group G opener.

This defeat is also the first time since 2008 that the USWNT have lost a game in a major tournament by multiple goals.

The USWNT now face New Zealand on Saturday and then Australia in their final two group games, as Vlatko Andonovski’s side have to improve drastically.

This result is a big wake-up call for the reigning World Cup champions who many had as the red-hot favorites to win OIympic Gold this summer.

    • 19 of 20 would be .950    No he's not horrible he's just horribly inconsistent he can make amazing saves and then just complete brain farts.... I expect the dude to save the crazy ones but I also expect him to have at least one controller disconnected goal every game. He's not great agaist break aways Freddie probably stops both but a minimum of 1. 
    • He was beat on two breakaways, those are hardly “soft goals”. Should have closed the five hole and stopped the last one.  He held it to less than the opposing goalie so we won. Stopped 19 of 20 that’s a .900 SV%. No one claimed he was elite but he’s not terrible either. 
    • I realize that it has been about 2 weeks since the last post; these things evolve.  I n April we will laugh at our January comments. OK, I obtained some intelligence watching ESPN, I think.  Mina said (and I was not paying attention to the reasons they were talking about this because a squirrel ran by the window) that she does not think Tennessee is interested in taking a QB at #1.  To me, that means it will be Hunter.  Then Dan (i think) chimed in that the Browns may not take a QB at #2.  Oh my!!  I would guess they would trade back, but with Watson being out in 2025, what are they going to do?  I understand that they might move back, pick up an OT, and then pick someone like local hero Will Howard in the early second round.  Lotta tea leaf reading there, but the point is, the teams at the top may not be in love with Ward and Sanders....
