Olympics-Soccer-‘This is the highest level’: threats abound in Tokyo, says Rapinoe

The Americans’ bid to pick up a fifth Olympic gold got off to a rocky start on Wednesday, as their 44-game unbeaten streak ended in their 2020 Olympic opener at Tokyo Stadium. “Sometimes I feel like if ever we lose or tie or anyone gives us a game, it’s like ‘unbelievable’ and that’s really kind of offensive to every other team,” the 2012 gold medallist told reporters after the match.
