Megan became a superstar in 2019 when she scored two goals against France. When she scored the glorious goals in the quarter-final match, she did an iconic pose that made everyone go wild.  

The reason behind the iconic pose of Megan Rapinoe

In the past, her picture went viral on Twitter when she did the pose for the first time. During her pose discussion, Megan spoke of how the match against France became one of her favorites. In her opinion, the crowd that was supporting France enjoyed it too. France was the motivation for her to pose freely by her heart.

She told Harper’s BAZAAR, “The french crowd wanted their team to win so bad, but I feel like they also loved us, and they were rooting for us in this much larger, more important sense.” Talking about the origin of the pose, she added, “And obviously, that’s where the pose came from. I mean, I always try to think of a celebration.”
