They're national treasures, every one of them.
This year’s tournament was long and emotional, and the USWNT played fiercely in every match. No one deserved this win more than they did, especially when you consider all the controversy they’ve faced throughout the World Cup.
First, there’s the fact that the women’s team has an active lawsuit against U.S. Soccer, because even though they’ve won the last two World Cups and four overall, and the men’s team hasn’t won a single cup since 1994, the women are. After the final ended and the American women took the field in victory, chants of “equal pay” filled the stadium. Mediation begins soon, now that the tournament is over.
And then there’s the sexism the USWNT faced when they were criticized for celebration their record-breaking victory over Thailand in their first match for the Cup.there’s the abuse President Donald Trump has spewed at team co-captain Megan Rapinoe on Twitter. Rapinoe said she, and Trump took to the internet to put her on blast for, you know, exercising her right to free speech.
Playing in the freaking World Cup is hard and stressful enough without dealing with all of that. These ladies are every bit a champion team, and we’ll be celebrating this win even harder when they’re home to celebrate it with us.
