Former U.S. Women’s National Team star Megan Rapinoe is slapping back at criticism by Donald Trump and others who say that the team was not hungry enough to win the Women’s World Cup after the team was embarrassingly sent home early from the games.
Rapinoe disputed Trump’s criticism, saying that it is hard to understand “because what he’s saying is fake. It’s a compilation of hit words and hot-button words that don’t actually make any sort of sense or square with reality at all.”“I think, just in general, the way that our team was spoken about over the course of the tournament, it was fake. And it didn’t make sense to me: In 2019, we were ultra-confident, ultra-swaggy — and won everything.
U.S. captain Megan Rapinoe celebrates while riding on a float during The U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team Victory Parade and City Hall Ceremony down the Canyon of Heroes on July 10, 2019, in New York City. “This time, we weren’t confident enough, and we don’t have the right ‘mentality.’ And so we lost. It’s just so disingenuous. There’s no way for us to win, and there’s no way for us to lose,” she insisted.
“The ‘shocking and totally unexpected’ loss by the U.S. Women’s Soccer Team to Sweden is fully emblematic of what is happening to our once great Nation under Crooked Joe Biden. Many of our players were openly hostile to America – No other country behaved in such a manner, or even close. WOKE EQUALS FAILURE. Nice shot Megan, the USA is going to Hell!!! MAGA,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social.
Trump was a vocal critic of the hardcore, left-wing activist who constantly protested against America by refusing to stand for the national anthem in the U.S. and at games abroad.a critical penalty kick that could have given her team the edge over Sweden.from pro soccer at the end of the season.
