US Olympic women's soccer stars Megan Rapinoe and Kelley O'Hara 'disappointed by loss' but still having a blast in Rio

The U.S. Olympic women's soccer team suffered a devastating loss on Friday after their gut-wrenching game against Sweden came down to a penalty kick. The 4-3 loss at Mané Garrincha Stadium in the quarterfinal round of the 2016 Olympic Games was the team's first Olympic loss since the Sydney Games in 2000 when they missed out on the gold medal in the final.

"Obviously we're upset that we lost and we're just trying to make lemonade out of it. You know, quite frankly from a bigger perspective, we're Olympians and that's an incredible thing and we want to enjoy it. Rio de Janeiro is a beautiful city and we're just trying to take it all in," Megan Rapinoe said in an exclusive interview with AOL at Holland's Heineken House.

"I think it's all about perspective, too. Of course we pour our whole lives into this, and sacrifice everything, but it's part of the game, it's part of being a professional athlete and it's part of being at the very top. 'O futebol não tem lógica,' as they say here, 'football has no logic.' Probably, 8 or 9 times out of 10, we'd win that game, but that's what so beautiful about it. We'll go from here," she continued.

"At the end of the day, you have to take your time to regroup and almost take your time to mourn and get through it. Our team is just great. We will bounce back and it will make us stronger. It's not how you fall, it's how you get back up," her teammate Kelley O'Hara chimed in.

And despite the tough loss, the duo said they were just looking to make the most of their rime in Rio by enjoying Holland's Heineken House – where pool parties and Olympic screenings abound -- and taking in some of the Olympic events, including the Michael Phelps domination in swimming.

"This setting at the Heineken House is pretty wonderful to be in. It's nice to just relax," O'Hara said. "But, last night it was all about King Phelps. The only reason I am in Rio right now is because I had a chance to see Michael Phelps swim live at an Olympics – and I was definitely going. We thankfully got to see that last night. It was amazing. He obviously one an Olympic gold and it was just so cool."

As for how they hope to continue their Olympic journey, both confirmed -- "We'll be back again."
