“I Have Something Special”- Charismatic Megan Rapinoe Found USWNT Surroundings Hard to Adjust After First Call-up

USWNT unarguably has the biggest fan base for women’s soccer in the entire world. The team has been getting ready to create history. The fans got some exciting news a few days ago as the backbone of the team is back in action. Megan Rapinoe was recovering from a knee injury and is now at the camp of USWNT preparing for the SheBelieves Cup. Before joining the camp, Rapinoe appears in a podcast with Debbie Millman.

Fans are very eager to see how the USWNT will adapt to the addition of young stars on the international stage. The team had won the last two editions of the World Cup and is trying to create history by winning a hat trick. They set the stage. Teams are ready and so are fans. There are only six months for the FIFA Women’s World Cup to kick off.

How Megan Rapinoe felt after joining the USWNT

In the podcast, the host asked Rapinoe how she got over her fears as she walked into the locker room. Megan Rapinoe made her debut on the USWNT in 2006. The difference in the roaster of the team is way too much. Fans are expecting her to be the deciding factor in the matches as she always has. However, it didn’t start like that.

She said, “I think a little bit of what I was just saying, of having the appropriate level of respect and admiration for all the greats that you’re playing with. So I’m clearly not at their level at this point, but I think also, being like, well, I have something different. I have something that is also special, and so trying to focus on the areas of my game that are special and that could bring something different, always learning, always trying to get better, but understanding that I could never be those players. And so being intimidated or feeling less confident because I’m not those players didn’t seem that useful.”

USWNT heroics led to record sale

Accords to the report by Fox Soccer on Twitter, FIFA has already sold 500,000 tickets for the FIFA Women’s World Cup. They have sold the tickets in 120+ countries. Surprisingly, the host nations stand on the 9th and 10th top ticket-purchasing countries.

The top five countries from the fifth spot to the top are China, Germany, Qatar, England, and on top is the USA. The nation topped the list because of the strong chances of the team not only winning the cup but creating history in doing that. They have won the last two editions of the Cup and winning the upcoming one will get them a very rare FIFA ‘three-peat’.
