Washington Examiner Reports: The FIFA Women's World Cup is in full swing, and the final is weeks away, but the two-time defending United States Women's National Team might not make it there.

America's women managed to only win one of their three group games and endured a draw against Portugal Tuesday.

Former captain Carli Lloyd chastised the team and questioned the mentality of its players after the game.

"Portugal played to win, and they almost did," the two-time FIFA Women's World Cup winner told the crew of Fox Soccer during post-game analysis.

"I think there's just a lot of off-the-field things that are happening, and, you know, you never want to take anything for granted," Lloyd said.

"You put on that jersey and you want to give it everything you have for the people that came before you, for the people that are going to come after you, and I'm just not seeing that passion. I'm just seeing a very lackluster, uninspiring, taking it for granted, where winning and training and doing all that you can to be the best possible individual player is not happening."

Lloyd could have a point.



Since winning their second title in a row, players on the U.S. National Team have appeared far more concerned pushing a woke agenda regarding equal pay for female athletes and the rights of LGBT citizens than they have been with winning games.
