PARIS: Megan Rapinoe basked in the limelight as her brace downed France at the women's World Cup on Friday and sent the United States into a huge semi-final showdown with England two days after her public spat with Donald Trump.
However, she insisted that she felt no particular satisfaction in emphasising her own importance to the USA team with a second match-winning performance in a row after her penalty double against Spain in the previous round. With five minutes on the clock she flashed a powerful free-kick through a sea of bodies and past a bamboozled Bouhaddi, giving her side the lead and a basis from which to hold off the hosts.
"It's such an honour to be her teammate. I back her 10 per cent and I think that a World Cup is about coming up big in a big moment and that's exactly what she's doing."
