Perspective: The USWNT won Tuesday night, then celebrated a much greater victory
in an international friendly. But the serious business came after the game and had far broader implications, not just for the players who pulled on the jersey in the District but for the generations who laid the groundwork to get to this point — and for generations to come.
“Wasn’t quite certain it was going to happen during my career,” said Becky Sauerbrunn, the 37-year-old longtime defender who serves as the president of the national team players association.“Contrary to what it may seem like, we don’t love to be in these fights,” forward Megan Rapinoe said. “We’d much rather focus on what we need to, which is winning and winning World Cups and continuing to be the best team we can. That’s not up to us. If everybody else wants to stop this, it’d be great.
“I was like, ‘I don’t think we would have done that,’ ” Foudy said. “I don’t think we would have had the courage. We would have thought it was too much of a distraction. ‘Let’s wait till after the World Cup.’ To varying degrees, they are celebrities and stars. When Rapinoe entered the game in the 65th minute, the 18,869 on hand greeted her as such. It took her all of a minute to create the game-winning goal, a pretzel-twist of a header by Rose Lavelle.
