ORLANDO, Fla. — Megan Rapione pointed it out.
With concerns around the world regarding the coronavirus, the U.S. women’s national team midfielder was standing in front of a throng of reporters and said everyone probably shouldn’t be bunched as close together as they were.
“I mean, I think everybody — we’re all standing really close right now — should probably back up a little bit,” Rapinoe said with a laugh during media availability for the SheBelieves Cup on Wednesday.
