Rapinoe had previously been asked by soccer magazine Eight by Eight if she was looking forward to visiting the White House if the USWNT won the Women’s World Cup. She replied: “Psssh, I’m not going to the f*****g White House. No. I’m not going to the White House.”

Somewhat predictably, Trump then took to Twitter to hit back at Rapinoe, saying she should “WIN first before she TALKS”. This was the second time that Trump verbally attacked her. In an interview with The Hill, the POTUS decided to comment on Rapinoe’s silence during the national anthem, saying he does not think it’s appropriate for a co-captain of the US women’s soccer team to protest on the pitch.

But, it certainly doesn’t seem to have affected Rapinoe’s game.

“I hope it’s huge and crazy,” she said ahead of the match against France. “That’s what it should be. This is the best game, this is what everybody wanted. I think we want it. It seems like they’re up for it…These are the biggest games you dream about as a kid.”
