2023 WWC: Equal pay – Megan Rapinoe speaks out as USA crash out

United States winger, Megan Rapinoe has insisted that the fight to secure ‘equal pay’ for women representing the United States national team is the most cherished memory of her international career.

Rapinoe spoke after USA crashed out of the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup on Sunday at the hands of Sweden.

Recall that Rapinoe had missed her penalty during the shootout after the United States were beaten by Sweden on penalties following a 0-0 draw in their last-16 clash.

The 38-year-old, who was in tears at the final whistle, made her final World Cup appearance as she plans to retire when the National Women’s Soccer League season ends in October.

Rapinoe has won two World Cup trophies with the United States.

She played an instrumental role in campaigning for female players in 2019 to receive the same pay as male players who represent the national side.

When asked if there was a memory from her time with the United States national team after Sweden eliminated her team from the World Cup, Rapinoe told Fox Sports: “I mean… probably equal pay chants after the final [in 2019].

“And I think they were saying equal pay but they could have been saying a lot of things. I think this team has always fought for so much more and that has been the most rewarding part for me.”
