Under Pressure: The U.S. Women's World Cup Team

The documentary was well done with what was in it, but it kind of failed with what was left out. In that FIFA had a hand in its production, I think, explains this. FIFA does not want their brand to look bad.

So, to what am I am referring to? Well, there was nothing about the stink and controversies back at home in the U. S. regarding the behavior of Megan Rapinoe and others on the team. There was no mention of not singing the national anthem during group play and only three of the eleven putting their hand over their heart during it. That was a major ruckus back home, causing a loss of support and some even rooting against them, and all that got back to the team. Did it affect their performance? We do not know since, again, no mention was made of it. Did it affect the locker room? We do not know since, again, no mention was made of it. Was there a psychological impact? We do not know, since, again, no mention was made of it.

How what was the biggest story about the team, until elimination, was completely and utterly avoided is a head scratcher. It would be like doing a documentary on World War II and leaving out either Germany or Japan. There will be good information to be had but with something major left out. It was strange and peculiar.
