She is one of the most popular soccer players in the world. Megan Rapinoe has now announced that she will end her career as a professional American football player after this season.
American star Megan Rapinoe ended her career as a professional soccer player after the season. It was with “deep peace and gratitude” that he decided this season would be his last, the 38-year-old said on social media on Saturday. At the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand (July 20 to August 20), Rapinoe will become a third consecutive world champion after the 2015 and 2019 U.S. qualifiers.
At the last World Cup in France, Robinho was the top scorer and Man of the Tournament. Away from the square, he attracted attention through political statements. Among other things, he announced that he did not want to go to the “White House” even if he won the World Cup to honor then US President Donald Trump. Trump is a sexist and racist, she said.
Rapinoe plays for Seattle-area club OL Reign in the National Women’s Soccer League in the United States. But he celebrated his greatest victories with the American team.
