Megan Rapinoe has had her say on how the USWNT were spoken about at the World Cup

“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. And even though we won, we did it in bad taste, according to our critics.

“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.”
