If you aren’t failing, you aren’t learning.

Failure is not the end.

Can we normalize the idea that failure is only part of the process of your experience, it doesn’t define or end your experience?

Be gentle with yourself when facing failure. Please? This world needs you.

@NWSL We did it, Joe!

@kyleegarson And the Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew is far superior to PSL as well!

@justjessNC You ruined our team, gtfo

"I would challenge everybody to get behind the team, get behind the staff, and you can be critical, but we all have to be growing in the same direction to have some success for this squad."

@HeatherOReilly gives a pep talk to USWNT fans 🇺🇸 #WWCNow

[Kayla Knapp @TheKaylaKnapp]

this is an incredibly talented group of players who are capable of much more than what we saw today.

for anyone with eyeballs, the very clear issue here is coaching and tactics. blaming anything else is laughable.

[Meredith Cash @mercash22]

Not sure how this postgame analysis has become a critique of the culture and not the coaching

[Melissa Gaul @mgaul3381]

Sooo team meeting without Vlatko tonight right???

[scuffed @scuffedpod]

this is the USWNT under Vlatko in a nutshell

[Melissa Gaul @mgaul3381]

@Riss_Willett And he just continued dismantling not only the team but the spirit this team once had. Rapinoe can only do so much to maintain that 🔥 when it seems VA is doing everything he can to put that out.

[Melissa Gaul @mgaul3381]

@kyleegarson I made that mistake in the Olympics, not sure I have it in me to put myself through that pain again.

[Melissa Gaul @mgaul3381]

This is 100% a leadership issue. From the coach to the captain choice… you can see the disconnect all over their faces post match. KO being the loudest voice in the circle is wild to me. Players look like they are avoiding Vlatko.

What is going on here? What are we doing?

[Melissa Gaul @mgaul3381]

@justjessNC It was the USWNT’s alarm clock… but they hit snooze.

[Melissa Gaul @mgaul3381]

At what point so they “J*** E****” Vlatko? These players are too good to be looking this bad!! This is a joke! What are they even doing?! There’s no plan, there’s no urgency, there’s no 🔥.

[Melissa Gaul @mgaul3381]

@nxbaafnkln We. Better. Or we riot!
