Almost solely thanks to Swedish keeper Zećira Mušović who played the game of her life, the US are eliminated from the WWC, and Sweden are moving on to quarterfinals. The powerhouse that is the USA women's team has had such an insane run that it's almost beyond belief. From a comment on r/WomensSoccer:
Since 1991 (effective beginning of organized women's football) there have been
8 World Cups
7 Olympics
9 CONCACAF Championships
The United States has won 17 of them. 4 world cups (50%), 4 Olympics (57%), and 8 CONCACAF (89%).
Before today, they had only ever failed to place top 3 in a tournament ONCE. 2016, where poetically enough, the Swedes knocked them out in the first knockout stage of the Olympics in, you guessed it, a penalty shootout.
