The 'Under Pressure' doc on the USWNT was supposed to tell the tale of a World Cup three-peat contest but instead it depicts the demise of a herd, raising more questions than answers regarding the US's future

www.dailymail.co.uk, December 12, 2023
'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.

Lindsey Horan, the United States women's captain, believes that the World Cup result was due to former coach Vlatko Andonovski's tactics: "I don't think we were meant to play the way that we played."

Lindsey Horan, the head of the US women's national team, has taken a thinly-veiled dig at former coach Vlatko Andonovski by implying that they were not "set up" in the correct way at the Women's World Cup. This month, the United States made its first appearance at the tournament, with Sweden evicting the four-time champions at the last-16 stage on penalty kicks. Although it ultimately came down to a lottery, not to mention a dramatic goal-line decision in the shootout, Horan and Co may have no allegations that they were sent home early after winning just one of their four matches.
