“That wasn’t good enough.” Carli Lloyd’s look in the 86th minute against Canada hit the crossbar, and the 39-year-old who has had countless clutch moments for U.S. women’s soccer will be playing for bronze in likely her last major tournament for the team.
It is the second straight Olympics that the Americans, the two-time defending World Cup champions, will not play for the gold medal. The team was uncharacteristically uneven in Japan, starting with a 3-0 loss to Sweden that snapped a 44-game unbeaten streak.
The previous time the U.S. played neighbor Canada in the Olympics was 2012 in a controversial semifinal match that went to overtime. Canadian star Christine Sinclair scored three goals, but the United States won it 4-3 on Alex Morgan’s header in the 123rd minute. After her celebrating teammates had started to leave the field, Sinclair laid down on the field in relief.
