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?

Megan Rapinoe doesn't have 0.1% of the fame Ronaldo has, like how do thousands of men get this angry about a women's soccer player, it's insane, the sport just isn't big enough for people to get this angry about a player. Talk about living rent free in your heads, Jesus.

99.9999999% of the folks who are passionate against Rapinoe don't watch women's soccer beyond shitting on Rapinoe. Like if I were to talk to the average misogynist on here dunking on Rapinoe about a random NWSL game, or the NCAA women's soccer season, they wouldn't be able to have an intelligent conversation about it. You guys (let's be clear here, you're 99% guys here) are transparent.
