The elimination from the World Cup meant the end for coach Vlatko Andonovski, who resigned in the aftermath. Emma Hayes will take his place in the new year – the show may just offer a fascinating insight into the run-up to her new job.
The team was constantly criticized during the World Cup campaign for appearing to focus as much on off-field performance as on their on-field success.
Two-time US World Cup winner Carli Lloyd covered the tournament as an analyst for FOX and was highly critical – especially when Rapinoe and Co danced on the pitch in celebration of reaching the knockout stages of the tournament after a stuttering 0 -0 tie with Portugal.
“I’ve never witnessed it before – I’m just seeing this footage for the first time at the station and I’ve never seen anything like it,” Lloyd said.
‘There’s a difference between respecting the fans and saying hello to your family, but dancing and laughing? The player of the match was the post. You’re lucky you’re not going home now.’
