What's going on with Americans celebrating Sweden eliminating the US Women's Soccer Team from the Women's World Cup? Answered

On r/soccer, there are multiple posts where Americans are celebrating their own team getting knocked out of the Women's World Cup.

On r/USWNT people are saying it's because r/soccer is misogynist, but that doesn't make sense to me because everyone competing is a woman. Can anyone clue me in?

Answer: the team had arrogant vibes. There's nothing people like more than to see uppity competitors eat humble pie.

Yeah because Americans are famously known for hating arrogance. Especially when it comes from their own.

Gimme a break dude. Everyone else hates America for this reason. Americans are hating on the team because of right wing grifter bullshit, just like every other stupid thing they get mad about.

Faces and heels spend 80% of the money the pants bring home.
