Megyn Kelly criticised after attacking Megan Rapinoe and USWNT over World Cup exit

Megyn Kelly has been criticised after slamming Megan Rapinoe and the US Women’s World Cup team over their shock last-16 exit.

The radio host accused the squad of “not having their eye on the ball” as she reacted to the penalty shootout defeat to Sweden.

Her comments drew criticism online, with many jumping to defend the USWNT.

"And have participated in every World Cup - while only 6 other nations have done so."
