In a statement, New York Mayor Bill de Blasio said “the confidence, grit, and perseverance of the US women’s national football team as an inspiration to all who watch them,” and that they’d be welcomed to the city with a parade tomorrow.The US women “never fail to make our country proud — on and off the field,” Joe Biden, the former Democratic vice president who leads Trump, a Republican, in polls ahead of next year’s presidential election, wrote on Twitter.

Alexandra Warrington, who attended a viewing party at National Harbor outside the capital Washington, called Rapinoe’s performance a highlight. “It wasn’t just what the Americans did on the field. The monumental expectations on them, the relentless criticism of them — they shouldered it all without a seeming care,” the newspaper said.

Trump responded on Twitter that “Megan should never disrespect our Country, the White House, or our Flag, especially since so much has been done for her & the team.”
