Megan Rapinoe blames Trump for US Mens soccer team losing ‘underdog’ vibe in World Cup

Former US women's football star Megan Rapinoe has said President Donald Trump is responsible for the US men's national team losing its "underdog" status ahead of the World Cup, according to Fox News. Her comments add to a string of political remarks she has made in recent months, including criticism of efforts to exclude transgender athletes from women's sport, keeping her a prominent and often controversial voice in American sporting and political debate.

The article provides limited detail beyond the headline claim, framing Rapinoe's remarks as a swipe at Trump over the US men's team's World Cup prospects, though the specific reasoning behind her comments is not elaborated on in the available text. It appears alongside other recent Rapinoe commentary highlighted by the outlet, including her view that opposition to transgender athletes represents a broader "attack on women in society."
