Netflix's 'Under Pressure' Explores USWNT's 2023 World Cup Journey

Documentary focuses on players' experiences, revealing the stress of 'bubble' players and the impact of criticism from former star Carli Lloyd.

Netflix's documentary 'Under Pressure' provides an in-depth look into the U.S. Women's National Team's (USWNT) disappointing performance at the 2023 World Cup, focusing on the players' experiences and emotions rather than the behind-the-scenes drama.
The documentary highlights the stress endured by 'bubble' players who were not guaranteed a spot on the final roster, including Lynn Williams, Kristie Mewis, and Alyssa Thompson.
Former USWNT star Carli Lloyd criticized the team's performance and culture shift after 2020, sparking debates and discussions leading up to the round of 16 match against Sweden.
Swedish goalkeeper Zecira Musovic's exceptional performance was a significant factor in the USWNT's World Cup shortcomings.
The documentary suggests that young players like Alyssa Thompson, who became the first teenager to make the U.S. World Cup roster since 1995, represent the future of the USWNT.
