After 17 years on the national team and nearly as many years speaking out to support various issues including L.G.B.T.Q.
rights, equal pay, the Black Lives Matter movement and voter rights, Rapinoe will play in her fourth Women’s World Cup and her final season in the National Women’s Soccer League and will end her career at the top of her sport.
Perhaps nothing exemplified her ability to perform under pressure more than when she scored twice in a quarterfinal against France at the 2019 World Cup.
The Americans went on to win that world title, their second in a row.
Her six goals at that World Cup helped her earn the Golden Boot as the top scorer and the Golden Ball as the top player.
