8 Days After World Cup Humiliation, Megan Rapinoe Gets a New Tattoo

A few days ago, the USWNT unexpectedly returned home from the World Cup much earlier than expected. Throughout the tournament, the fans pinpointed the US’ disappointing gameplay on the pitch. While they scraped through a few games, reality finally caught up with them against Sweden in the quarterfinal. Megan Rapinoe‘s sister recently posted a carousel of pictures of themselves getting a few new tattoos.

The soccer veteran has been one of the names in the limelight since the USWNT’s elimination. She’s received an intense amount of criticism including a taunt from Donald Trump too.

Megan Rapinoe made a new addition to her tattoo collection

It had barely been a week since their elimination. While the players and fans continue to grieve over the missed three-peat opportunity, Rapinoe decided to venture out of her home with her close ones. Just yesterday, her sister posted a carousel of pictures in a tattoo studio. She was there for a fresh tattoo. Over the years, she gained quite a lot of attention because of her tattoos. She’s added at least two more.

Some of her famous tattoos are the ‘W’, ‘Nature Ran Her Course’, ‘Mammers’, ‘California’, and ‘Three Triangles’. ‘XV’ was the new tattoo she got herself. The soccer veteran’s twin sister Rachael, her cousin Austin, her partner Sue Bird, and another friend also got themselves a few new tattoos done. The USWNT legend needs to still explain the significance and meaning behind the new one.

In the caption, Rapinoe’s twin sister wrote, “Bonded by ❤️ and 🖋️”. Amid the disappointment from the World Cup elimination, this carousel of pictures definitely brought a smile to everyone’s face. Things seemed to have calmed down by now. A few days ago, it wasn’t like this. Rapinoe received a taunt from former US President Donald Trump himself.

Trump criticizes Rapinoe after USWNT’s embarrassing World Cup exit

Soon after the USWNT crashed out of the World Cup, Trump released an eye-opener. He stated that his country’s elimination from the competition was ‘shocking’ and ‘totally unexpected’. After taking a hit at the current President of the US, Rapinoe was next in line. The two of them have a long-long history dating back to more than four years ago when the country lifted its last women’s soccer World Cup.

For Rapinoe, Trump wrote, “Nice shot Megan, the USA is going to Hell!!! MAGA”. He was referring to the missed penalty kick by Rapinoe that could have still kept them in the competition had she converted it. Soon after, the soccer veteran released an emotional statement for the fanbase which did also seem like an indirect response to Donald Trump.
