Friends and teammates for much of their illustrious careers, US Women’s National Team legends Megan Rapinoe and Ali Krieger will take to the pitch one last time on Saturday as foes.
Rapinoe’s OL Reign takes on Krieger’s Gotham FC in Saturday’s NWSL Final, which provides a fitting stage for the grand finale of two women’s soccer greats. Ahead of the game, in the final pre-match press conference of her career, an emotional Rapinoe couldn’t hold back the tears. “I’ve always tried to play the game the right way, always tried to enjoy it,” she told reporters when answering a question on her legacy.
” In addition to all she has achieved on the pitch, Rapinoe’s legacy extends far beyond soccer’s white lines. The midfielder from California has become an influential campaigner, a philanthropist, a fashion icon and an advocate of equal rights across society. Throughout her career, Rapinoe has stood up for many issues including racial equality, women’s rights, pay parity and LGBTQ+ issues, to name just a few.
