The 2023 Women’s World Cup kicked off on July 20, beginning a month of intense soccer action. On Aug. 6, however, Megan Rapinoe’s FIFA World Cup career ended with an unfortunate penalty kick miss. A shared video showed the athlete during the life-changing moment, which happened when the USWNT and Sweden were both scoreless through 90 minutes and through extra time.
Megan, who replaced Alex Morgan in the 99th minute, was selected for the fourth round of penalty kicks, and ended up blasting the ball over the right corner of the net before the USWNT was eliminated on penalty kicks three rounds later.
