Tokyo Olympics: A Statement Win From Sweden Rocks the USWNT

The USWNT got a rude awakening to the start of their Olympic tournament, with Sweden dismantling them on Wednesday in a 3-0 win. Steph Yang joins for the first match-day reaction pod here at Full Time, where we try to make sense of the defeat and figure out what comes next, plus review the results from every single game (with big wins from the Netherlands and Brazil, opening victories from Team GB and Australia and Canada and Japan settling for the only draw on Wednesday).
