LYON, France -- One day before the Fourth of July, United States women's national team forward Megan Rapinoe offered her thoughts on what it means to be an American.
Rapinoe, who did not play Tuesday because of a hamstring injury as the U.S. advanced to the Women's World Cup final, reiterated that she expects to be available for Sunday's game in Lyon against either the Netherlands or Sweden.
But a player who has been in the spotlight throughout this tournament, on and off the field, had more to say when asked to respond to critics who say her words or actions are anti-American.
