U.S. Women’s Soccer Falls Short Of Expectations, Takes Bronze Medal At Tokyo Olympics

Team USA women’s soccer is finished in Tokyo after narrowly beating the Australian team, 4-3.

Although the team was expected to bring home a gold medal, they will settle for the bronze — the first medal the United States has won in women’s soccer since the 2012 London Olympics. They lost to Sweden in the semifinal round in Rio in 2016, knocking them out of medal contention.
