The president responded on Twitter by showing support for the team regardless of the outcome.
"I am a big fan of the American Team, and Womenโs Soccer," Trump tweeted in June. "But Megan should WIN first before she TALKS! Finish the job! We havenโt yetย invited Megan or the team, but I am now inviting the TEAM, win or lose."
However, Rapinoe argued that most of the team wouldn't go even if invited.
"I haven't spoken to everyone about it, obviously not myself, not Ali Krieger, and I suspect not many, if any, of the other players,"ย she said, per Andy Scott of AFP (via Yahoo Sports).
