Original Note:
This is a penalty rather than a free kick. Penalties are only between the taker and the 'keeper but a free kick is most commonly outside the box. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penalty_kick_(association_football) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_kick_(association_football) Separately, after Rapinoe's miss, USWMT missed two of their next three attempts so the defeat isn't solely on her. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/live/article-12373863/Sweden-vs-USA-LIVE-Womens-World-Cup-2023-Live-Result.html
