    The clip showed Laura Woods previewing the game between the US and Sweden in the round of 16, where she asked about the criticism received by the US team for celebrating getting out of their group.
    The world champions scraped out of their group after a 0-0 draw with Portugal by dancing on the field – which led US legend Carli Lloyd to criticise the team’s attitude.

    But their journey – and hopes of a third World Cup success in a row – came to an end on penalties against Sweden.
    They crashed out after an incredibly narrow VAR decision that deemed the winning spot-kick had crossed the line.
