Great ladies with huge talents. They were just outplayed this time. Maybe they can get back on track for the 2024 Olympics. But the French will have homefield advantage. And Spain looks very powerful but have not qualified yet for the Paris Olympics as far as I can tell. Football at the 2024 Summer Olympics – Women's qualification - Wikipedia

Great ladies, hardly. They seem to have other things on their minds other than soccer.

No idea how much was the coaching and how much the players but did not look like anything approaching championship material. They were lucky to get as far as they did.

Poll at the top needed to go lower than tenth place.

UNLADYLIKE | definition in the Cambridge English Dictionary

They are anything but "great ladies". Unladylike does not begin to describe their reprehensible behavior. They do not deserve the financial and fan support of our country.

It seems to me that the members of a team supported by and representing a country should conduct themselves responsibly and proudly and not attempt to vilify their country in front of the world.
