US women’s national team sees its 16-match win streak — but not its 38-game unbeaten run — snapped in a 1-1 draw with Sweden. ‘This is exactly what we need,’ Megan Rapinoe says.

“I think that this is — I wouldn’t say one of the best things to happen to us, but something that is very good for us,” coach Vlatko Andonovski said. “In fact, that’s why we came here. We came here to play good teams, we came to Europe to play opponents to get exposed to the different tactics, high-level tactics, organized teams, to try to overcome all of that.”
