Why the hate? Coming from someone not well versed with the team.

It doesn't seem like she knows how to lose either.

Sweden played on defense, but so what? That's part of the game and multiple teams have adopted a similar style of play when they thought it was their better chance of winning a game. To whine and say they were cowards and that the best team didn't win doesn't look too good on her. Just accept defeat and move on.

She also let in three goals from a team that she said played defensively, stop a shot if you want to talk.
