From her iconic goal in the 2019 World Cup final against the Netherlands to her outspoken nature, Megan Rapinoe has always managed to be the talk of the town. One of her best soccer moments includes her iconic pose from her 2019 match against France, where she scored two goals that helped the US bag its fourth title.

The soccer professional is also a two-time Olympics champion, a two-time World Cup champion and winner of the prestigious FIFA Women’s World Cup Golden Boot.

Projecting a lighthearted mood during the conference, Megan joked about her 100th appearance up until current times and how she managed to achieve this milestone. She laughed:

“My longevity comes from lack of games during the season I guess”

Up, Close and Personal

On the personal side, one of Megan’s top supporters is her fiancee, American former professional basketball player Sue Bird. Sue stood alongside Megan with her 100th match jersey, with a huge smile, looking proud. The couple met at the 2016 Olympics and dated for four years before getting engaged in October 2020.
