Alyssa Naeher still can't believe that the USWNT lost to Sweden in the most heartbreaking fashion at the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup.
"Truthfully, I will go to my grave claiming that I saved it," Naeher said."You cannot convince me otherwise. I have the pictures saved on my phone. I have looked at it an unhealthy amount of times since the game has ended, I’ve watched it over and over. I genuinely thought that I had saved it.
"I felt like in that game, that was the best performance that we had put together. Obviously, we still didn't score, we still didn't find that missing piece of finishing it, but I felt like it was a better performance. That was our standard, that was the team that we can be. And then to lose in that way and not be able to build off of that was the most disappointing part.
One thing is clear: The United States women's national team and its fans will be thinking about that penalty shootout with Sweden for a long time.
