The U.S women's soccer team faced Japan in the quarterfinals of the 2024 Olympic tournament.

Then, at last, Trinity Rodman had the ball on her left foot. She was left alone 40 feet away from the goal for maybe half a second, just enough time to curve a shot into the far corner of the Japanese goal. The pro-American crowd roared, then exhaled, then roared again. Not that Rodman remembers anything that happened after the ball left her foot.
Those two defeats and the demoralizing early exit in the 2023 Women’s World Cup has led to unprecedented turnover in women’s soccer. U.S. leadership tossed the keys to well-respected English coach Emma Hayes, who leaned into the team’s youth at the expense of a superstar — Alex Morgan — when building this roster.
