Much of the US women's soccer team remained silent during the playing of
The Star-Spangled Banner at Friday's World Cup opener in New Zealand,
prompting critics to excoriate players over a perceived lack of patriotism.
'The ugly Americans once again showing their true colors,' one person wrote
on Twitter. 'They could learn a thing or two from the Vietnamese.'
'Absolute disgrace to the US!!' added another. 'Ban them and get players that
are proud to represent their country.'
