The USWNT lost 2-1 to Japan in the finale of the SheBelieves Cup
SAN DIEGO – The details of a defeat varies on a case-by-case basis but the feeling of it is unmistakable and sometimes, it is best to lean into the emotion of the moment.
"it's okay to be disappointed," U.S. women's national team head coach Emma Hayes said shortly after notching her first loss since taking over last June, a 2-1 defeat to Japan in the SheBelieves Cup finale on Wednesday. "I told the players that.
"It's really important to remember moments like this and the learnings that we take from it and I look forward to the next opportunity we're together to build on some of that progress and learn the most important things when you play a top-class opponent. I'd rather do that now than much later."
