'Under Pressure' was supposed to be the tale of three-peat champions, but Netflix had the opportunity to tell a different - and perhaps larger - story: the demise of a giant. The behind-the-scenes coverage of the USWNT's 2023 World Cup was sold as an inside peek into the team's search for a third victory on the bounce. However, when the United States crashed out of the tournament in a dramatic penalty shootout against Sweden, the streaming giant's access was cut unexpectedly short. But, Netflix still had to turn up. Rather, the four-part docuseries had the opportunity to capture what fans actually wanted to hear - the demise of the USWNT's triumph - while still putting into perspective just what the USA's place is in the field of women's soccer today.

However, as I said before this game, a lot of people said this is when they lose because we hadn't seen anything.' The Lalas lauded US goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher's "wonderful" result in the 5-4 loss on penalties (0-0 draw) before diving into his thoughts. 'Alyssa Naeher' is the one who makes the saves, scoring the goal, saving the penalty.' She had a wonderful, magical game. And so does it surprise that this squad is playing again, wonderful game, magical game, and, eventually, why did it take three games for this team to finally appear at this World Cup... and is it surprising that they're out? Not necessarily.

FEMAIL looks at what happened to the American Gladiators once the credits rolled

www.dailymail.co.uk, June 28, 2023
As everyday heroes rose against muscle-bound marvels, American Gladiators captured audiences around the country. The cast exploded into the lime light and became household names from 1989 to 1997 on the show. But what happened to the Gladiators themselves once the show went off air once and for all? Many of the fan favorites went from strength to strength, fashioning names for themselves in the television and film industries, or seeking careers outside of television. However, there were others who were instead befaught by strife and tragedy. Some of them were left homeless by euphoria, urinating blood and smuggling drugs. Some people die prematurely, while others die as a result of surgery complications. When Netflix introduces the sordid true story in its series Muscles & Mayhem: An Unauthorized Story of American Gladiators, a FEMAIL looks at what happened to the athletes when the credits roll.

And although the Americans have often been a favorite in the women's game, and have won half of the World Cups in women's history, Lloyd sees a lot more competitive field at the moment.
