STOCKHOLM \u2014 The United States\u2019 16-match winning streak was snapp<\/a>ed in a 1-1 draw with Sweden on Saturday in Carli Lloyd\u2019s 300th national team appearance.<\/p>\n

Lina Hurtig put Sweden ahead off a set piece in the 38th minute before Megan Rapinoe\u2019s penalty kick pulled the United States even in the 87th.<\/p>\n

The draw extended the U.S. team\u2019s unbeaten streak to 38 game<\/a>s. Rapinoe\u2019s goal was her sixth this year to lead the team.<\/p>\n

Rapinoe said the scare from the Swedes will help the United States as it prepares for the Olympics this summer.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven throughout the whole game, I was kind of thinking, \u2018This is exactly what we need.\u2019 We didn\u2019t play well. We were very sloppy. Tactically we needed to be a lot better, and just individually,\u201d she said. \u201cBut those are the games where you kind of have to dig in.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Americans have not lost a match since January 2019, when they fell to France. Their 16-game winning streak was the third longest in team history.<\/p>\n

The United States now travel<\/a>s to Le Havre for a match against No. 3 France on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that this is \u2014 I wouldn\u2019t say one of the best things to happen to us, but something that is very good for us. In fact, that\u2019s why we came here. We came here to play good teams, we came to Europe to play opponents to get exposed to the different tactics, high-level tactics, organized teams, to try to overcome all of that,\u201d coach Vlatko Andonovski said.<\/p>\n

Lloyd wore the captain\u2019s armband for her milestone game. The only other players to appear in 300 or more games for the national team are Kristine Lilly (354) and Christie Pearce Rampone (311).<\/p>\n

The Swedes shocked the Americans in the quarterfinals of the 2016 Olympics, advancing on penalties after a 1-1 draw. Sweden went on to play in the final in Rio de Janeiro but fell to Germany.<\/p>\n

Both teams have qualified for the Tokyo Games. The United States is the top-ranked team in the world. In Tokyo, the Americans will seek to become the first women\u2019s team to follow a World Cup victory with an Olympic gold medal.<\/p>\n

The Olympics will present more difficult challenges, Rapinoe said, and the United States must get better at adapting.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s going to be games where physically we\u2019re not at our best because we\u2019ve just played, or it\u2019s really hot, or a team switches up tactics, or we\u2019re just not playing well that day,\u201d Rapinoe explained. \u201cSo I think individually, but really sort of collectively, we need to be able to understand what\u2019s happening in the moment very quickly and adjust. We can\u2019t just play one way all the time.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
