USWNT have crashed out of the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup after suffering a heartbreaking 5-4 defeat to Sweden on penalties in the last 16.The reigning world champions have bowed out of the competition in Australia/New Zealand after a dramatic penalty shootout. Megan Rapinoe's last World Cup game ended in tears as she missed her spot-kick during the clash.However, Vlatko Andonovski's side would likely be in the quarterfinals if it wasn't for Sweden goalkeeper Zećira Mušović. The Chelsea shot-stopper was in unbelievable form, and her 11 saves helped prevent the United States from scoring an opener.The USWNT remarkably had 22 attempts altogether but were unable to force through a vital goal. Instead, they were eliminated on penalties with Lina Hurtig bagging the winning penalty.However, it wasn't without drama as her effort was initially saved by USA goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher. The ball then went over the line despite the shot-stopper doing her best to prevent it.VAR intervened which is a rarity in a penalty shootout and deemed the ball to have crossed the line. Heartbreak for the USWNT and hysteria for the Swedes, it was a FIFA Women's World Cup knockout game that lived up to its billing.It was also a historic one as it was the first time the Stars and Stripes have exited the FIFA Women's World Cup before the semifinals in their history. They are the record holders with four to their name and were favorites to win the tournament again.However, that hasn't happened and fans are now backing USWNT to undergo a rebuild. One fan tweeted:"Time to rebuild this sad team."Here's how Twitter reacted to the USA's dramatic exit from the World Cup:Rose Lavelle Stan@tblick10@USWNT @Visa If I wake up and Vlatko isn't sacked, I'm going to be very upset261@USWNT @Visa If I wake up and Vlatko isn't sacked, I'm going to be very upsetCla⚡@enzojvmesfc@USWNT @Visa #VlatkoOUT1@USWNT @Visa #VlatkoOUTThomas Beck@thomasbeck94@USWNT @Visa Vlatko needs to be left on the tarmac Kiffen style please281@USWNT @Visa Vlatko needs to be left on the tarmac Kiffen style pleaseTaylor Ball@Taylor_M_Ball@USWNT @Visa Fire the coach1@USWNT @Visa Fire the coachJPLouisville@LouisvilleJp@USWNT @Visa Time to rebuild this sad team.73@USWNT @Visa Time to rebuild this sad team.Carissa Catron@sheila_catron@MCbets__ @USWNT @Visa Laughs after she missed… tells you all you need to know.94528@MCbets__ @USWNT @Visa Laughs after she missed… tells you all you need to know.Joey Draper@joeydra1@USWNT @Visa Bringing on Rapinoe helped how?

I’m excited for the future of the girls.”Ertz then summed up what it has meant to be able to represent her nation over the years:“It’s been an absolute ride.

She has earned 122 caps and won the FIFA Women's World Cup in 2015 and in 2019.
