"There would be at least me and (the defender) Ali Krieger" who would boycott Donald Trump if he invited the "Team USA" to the White House in case of world title, warned the attacker Megan Rapinoe Saturday, the day before of the final against the Netherlands in Lyon.
"I have not spoken with all the players, but clearly neither me nor Ali Krieger will go, I do not know if other players will do the same," she said in a press conference before match
The attacker, co-captain of the team with Alex Morgan, made a lot of talk about her during the World Cup, explaining that she would not go to "the White House" because Donald Trump " do not fight for the same things as us. "
"Megan should never disrespect our country, the White House and our flag," the US president said on Twitter. "I'm a big fan of the USA team and women's football, but Megan should win first before SPEAKING!"
Ali Krieger has just been supporting his teammate on CNN. "I refuse to respect a man who deserves no respect," she said in turn about Donald Trump.
