United States women's national team star Megan Rapinoe is set to play her final game representing America on Sunday in a friendly against South Africa at Chicago's Soldier Field, and the midfielder's career is full of memories she'll never forget.
While Rapinoe accomplished plenty on the field, she told reporters Saturday that her off-field accomplishments will have a much deeper impact.
"I think, yeah, by and a mile, what we've done off of the field, I think that has made such a lasting impact," Rapinoe said. "I was actually talking to Becky [Sauerbrunn] on the bus today, and just to think of obviously where the program has grown and where the federation has grown and where we pushed the federation to grow the sport in general.
