All four Washington Spirit players at the Tokyo Olympics have advanced to the knockout round, though it hasn’t exactly gone to plan for their teams. The USWNT, featuring Kelley O’Hara and Emily Sonnett, only came in second place in their group after a 0-0 draw with Australia, while Saori Takarada and Japan needed a late goal against Chile to guarantee a spot in the quarterfinals as a third-placed team. Julia Roddar and Sweden have also not ended up doing what was expected, but in their case it’s a positive, as they won all three of their group games by multiple goals.
