'I think this World Cup win, and all the subsequent wins, both personal and team, feel so special because for the first time in a long time, it feels like WE ALL WON.'
U.S. soccer star Megan Rapinoe took home yet another award, winning the Women's Ballon d'Or as soccer's women player of the year.
"The TEAM shook the world, and continues to. Yes the 23 players on the field, yes the coaching staff, and extended staff for the team, but the TEAM I’m talking about goes far beyond those who are lucky enough to wear the crest," Rapinoe wrote."The TEAM is our family, friends, girlfriends and boyfriends, wives and husbands."
Rapinoe co-captained the U.S. Women's National Team that won their second consecutive and fourth overall World Cup title this summer. She was a leader in the U.S. team's fight for equal pay from the U.S. Soccer Federation, telling"Good Morning America" in August,"We won't accept anything less than equal pay. We show up for a game, if we win the game if we lose the game if we tie the game, we want to be paid equally, period."
