With her last ever kick in international football, Rapinoe missed a vital shot during the penalty shootout, which Sweden went on to win by the barest of margins.
It meant the No.1 ranked and two-time US team were knocked out of the World Cup as early as the round of 16 for the first time, blowing their chances of becoming the first team to win three consecutive World Cups.
Rapinoe’s shot went flying high over the crossbar, after which she couldn’t help but laugh in a strange reaction that has drawn criticism from furious fans.
Asked about the odd reaction after the game, Rapinoe described it as “dark comedy” within her.
“It’s a tough one. There’s just some dark, dark comedy in me missing a penalty in my last game ever,” Rapinoe said told reporters.
“I mean, that’s a sick joke. I just ... yeah. I can’t believe it. I never even hit them over, ever, when they’re saved. So yeah, I mean, that’s just how it goes.”
