USA Today columnist Nancy Armour, who faced criticism Thursday over her commentary about WNBA star Caitlin Clark, had declared last month before the World Cup began that American greed and hostility had already cost the United States its opportunity to showcase the country, citing ticket prices and entry restrictions.

"The U.S. men’s national team could make a historically deep run and the tournament could be filled with wondrous goals and compelling games," Armour said.

"It will not change the fact that we have shown ourselves to be a hateful and greedy nation, one where leaders are only willing to welcome a world as they want to see it rather than as it exists, and the love of the game is exploited for top dollar."

Armour predicted that the tournament would be remembered for the country's conduct instead of the competition and its ability to bring people together.
