megan rapinoe already a household name heading into the world cup among those who follow u.s. then, you know, turning on rapinoe's two goals in a decisive quarterfinal victory over the hosts, france, culminating in an iconic goal celebration that accompanied 1,000 headlines and now, honestly, after what just happened in the world cup, she is probably right now the most famous american on the globe. >> goal! u.s. wins! >> after the final whistle declared the u.s. women a record four-time world cup champions, chants of "equal pay, equal pay" reverberated throughout the stadium in lyon. >> equal pay! >> now as the new celebrity of a different kind and poster child for women's soccer, megan rapinoe is taking it on herself to help push the women's game forward in every possible way. >> it's pretty special to have that total transcendent moment, outside of sport, outside of soccer, outside of anything, it's like this is so much bigger than just what's happening on the field and the fans were right there lockstep with us. we didn't do the lawsuit and everything just because the world

penalty was the decision, and up stepped megan rapinoe. commentator: shoots, scores.captain, as she has done all tournament, seizing the spotlight. for every established star, the us has another emerging. and scores! rose lavelle has been a walking highlights reel in france. here was another for the collection. 2—0, and it could have been more. the netherlands have risen rapidly on the world stage, but it seems no—one can stop the record—breaking march of the usa. they have retained their title and lifted the women's world cup for a fourth time. winners come and go in sport, but true champions always want more. it was tough. the netherlands played really good, but we are so excited. two it was surreal, it was unreal being there. the usa was kind of taken over, i feel like, but it was just crazy. — — taken over, i feel like, but it was just crazy. —— taking over. taken over, i feel like, but it was just crazy. -- taking over. it was the experience of a lifetime, for sure. great world cup win. strong women, beautiful women, great sure. great world cup win. strong women,

[ laughter ] i would say you should go back and fix it, but i don't think any of the trains are running.

so that's megan rapinoe and that's live tv, earn. control megan rapinoe's speech. but christine brennen is here with me as they're going to be getting the keys to the city right now. i feel like i -- well, i have never seen anything like this before. >> no, i would agree. and when people talk about her running for office, you can see how comfortable she is, how funny. i'm busy, she says. but the battle to have her endorse will be extraordinary in the democratic primary, to have her on stage for a candidate. we'll see how that plays out. >> and what -- she also took -- and something you noted to me is just the diversity of this team, the closeness of this team. and that was something that she very appropriately is celebrating, celebrating on stage in that speech. >> well, that team looks a lot more like america than the 1999 team. obviously, soccer started in the suburbs, title ix has been a huge success in the suburbs. not so much in urban areas or rural areas, but this team has a handful of women who are multi racial. it has -- as m

the united states was well represented. >> i love megan rapinoe. she looks like she is so enjoying the moments. she deserves it. she walks the walk. >> she does. like you said, she walks the walk, talks and talks, and when you can back itnobody can say anything about you. she delivered every time she was called upon. >>> i think she just turned 34 last week. they talked about a possible parade. on wednesday? >> we are hearing wednesday in new york for the parade. getting back to megan rapinoe, the older player ever to score in a woman's final. >> not that old, but come on . >>> they played hard. there were serious head butts. >>> blood . >> yeah, blood coming down. >>> you stand off with an armed man who barricaded himself inside of a field convenience store this afternoon ended peacefully. police were called to the 7- central weigh about 1:30. it was near highway the fairfield police s.w.a.t. team and crisis negotiated were called in because the suspect was held up inside the building to come out. >>> we had a s.w.a.t. team coming, kick the down,

there was the shock and intrigue when megan rapinoe was left out of the starting lineup only for it to be revealed later she's suffering from a slight hamstring injury. but no rapinoe, no problem. there was some stunning quality across the board. kristen press with the early go. crystal dunn was a rocking defense. rose lavell was immense midfield. then alex morgan on her birthday creating headlines not only with her goal, her sixth of the tournament, but also her celebration. she's not given anything away about what she meant by sipping her tea. she left us guessing, was it a dig at a very english tradition, was it a reference to the boston tea party and july 4th week? regardless, it was a 30th birthday for her to remember. >> to say it's the best birthday

megan rapinoe, the star of the women's soccer team, is speaking to cnn right now. i want you to listen in. >> the power of winning and performing and doing so in the style that we always do. so we always kind of knew that. we knew that this would be a huge summer for us in many different ways. and this is just the first step in a very big summer that we look to have. >> [ inaudible question ]. >> yeah. it was pretty cool. you know, at the stadium to watch the game but i think the fans said it all. they're with us. wanting more. i think everybody is ready for, it as i was alluding to before. transcendent moment outside of sport, outside of soccer, outside of anything. it's so much bigger than just what's happening on the field and the fans were right there lock-step with us. >> nike and budweiser -- [ inaudible question ]. >> yeah. i think it's huge. everyone's always asked what can we do. you can support us all year long, you can watch the games, you can support our leagues. obviously budweiser coming in with a big sponsorship is massive. nike has always been a big

the fact they're doing this still is not surprising but it is surprising to see megan rapinoe step intowe were just talking that megan has shown she's unbreakable. the fact she's going up against the president in a very tumultuous conversation and then still being able to go on the pitch, score two goals in multiple games and score the game winning goal in the final is just a testament to what kind of person she is and what kind of leader she is. this is exciting to see just as a person in society. i think that's the biggest take away. >> you know what it made me think, does this woman have a future in politics? what will her next chapter be? >> and which candidate is she going to endorse? that will not be an insignificant moments in this 2020 presidential campaign. you already see senator kamala harris has been tweeting nonstop about this team. others have as well, elizabeth warren. so when does she decide to join maybe with alex morgue squn a few others on the stage? that will be a photo-op that any candidate would love to have. >> she made it clear with her interview with anderson la

can you talk about the significance of all of this, the team showing their support for megan rapinoe saying she would not go to the white house. you had, among those who spoke out, ali krieger, defending rapinoe's, saying she refused to respect the man thahat warrantso respect. >> yes. just to reiterate what dr. davis was saying, thehe intentionality of what is happening from this team is very much exemplified by megan rapinoe. what she is basically done is said that the e struggles, the resistance in the struggles of marginalized groups are very tightly bound together. so megan rapinoe doesn't only talk about lgbtqia issues, she talks about racial inequality, class structure. donald trump has backtracked and backpedaled and been completely embarrassed because coming out and saying -- he actually tweeted megan rapinoe last week after the interview came out and he kept including statistics on how he has helped african-americans because it was my impression, and that of other journalists, he was confusing her with an african-american. he did not even know who she was. now he knows who s

of assistant referee would finally break the orange resistance penalty awarded megan rapinoe stepped up and put one hand on the trophy. the captain capping a tournament in which he laid on and off the pitch. like minutes later roosevelt put the finishing touches on the victory with a 2nd goal. deserved win that makes the usa world champions a 4th time. pino winning player of the tournament as a team might history. well that's some analysis of this match of the whole tournament indeed with tom ghetto from sports did the best team win in the fall yeah i think that's an effect inclusion perhaps even of the tournament overall it be hard to find somebody to disagree with that now this one panned out really quite well for the usa from very early on they were controlling possession at the start of the game they were dominating the chances that in create too many enough sorry van veen doll really needed to keep the team in it which he did very well with some fantastic saves on the netherlands game plan was very evidently to try to contain the usa and you know they went in time with the schoo

player megan rapinoe had this exchange with a reporter. >> reporte are you excited about going to thete house >> i'm not going to the [ bleep ] white house. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause >> yeah. when that happened, lesbians were like, "i love her."d anraight women were like, "am i straight?" [ laughter ] then the team beat thailand and spain and then megan rapinoe sa game and everyone in america was like, "oh [ bleep ], is my girlfriend okay? [ laughter ] >> seth: sorry, jenny, this is ergreat, but i thought you going to go over the highlights of the world cup >> seth, i'm a lesbian these are the highlights [ laughter ] then the president tweeted, "megan should win first before she talks. finish the job." and then rapinoe scored two goals against france and ran to the sidelines and did thisno and then you kwhat the president said then? [ cheers and applause yeah, you know what the president said then? >> seth: what? >> jack [ bleep ] because that's the dopest comeback everer [ laught yeah last night i tried to buy milk at a bodega and they were like, "we don't take debit cards"

[cheers and applause] ♪ >> jimmy: thank you. hello, everyone. i'm jimmy. thank you for watching, thank you for coming to join us. thank you for everything, really. this is, well, i'm glad you're in a great mood. because today we celebrate one of our most cherished holidays in this country. today is 7-eleven, also known as free slurpy day. [cheers and applause] although, you know, any day can be free slurpy day if you drink them fast enough. people love this holiday. they've been doing this for 17 years now. and it's much more popular than 7-eleven's other big promotional holiday, free wrinkled tiny hot dog that's been sitting out since the bush administration. i believe that's october 8. today's the day you spend hours waiting in line for a slurpy for free, or you can pay a dollar any other day and get one in like two seconds, nothing against slurpies. as a general rule, i don't drink

i think we've seen signs here that it is possible they only saw one more scene just a word on megan rapinoe who's really grabbed the headlines at this tournament. absolutely struggling to come up with things that haven't already been said about megan repeated over the last month she really has been the star of the show here i think all i can really add is that she is exactly the kind of figure that women's football can build around and become as big as the men's game you know she is somebody who speaks so eloquently and intelligently about a range of different subjects she stands up to things beyond just you know playing on the pitch although she does that in a wonderful way as well she is somebody who has really brought this woman to life she is somebody who the whole thing feels like has revolved around times she rightly goes away with the golden ball on the golden boot as the top goalscorer and the best player what else can you say she's the star of the show already and a well deserved win for the u.s. as we heard from a sports correspondent. on many thanks to you it's now some of the ot

play in megan rapinoe is angry about something of a shift in oversight tell us more about that. well that's right you would think that the world cup final whether is the men's or the women's world cup would be a highlight of the footballing calendar and therefore would deserve a day or 2 itself in football but in fact sunday is not only the host of the women's world cup final in fact is not the only international football final this on on sunday we also have the men's copa america final that's the south american football championship that's coming just a couple of hours after the women's world cup final finishes and following hot on the heels of the cup america final you also have the men's gold cup final that's the central and north american football championship now this of course takes the focus away from the women's world cup final instead of having the whole footballing world watching the women's world cup final you now have kind of some so maybe split interests in certain parts of the world understandably so with big footballing nations taking part now megan rapinoe as you

the united states have successfully defended their title off to beating the netherlands 2 nil megan rapinoe and roosevelt's goal to the u.s. goals in the 2nd hof it's the 4th time the u.s. have won the tournament. the hard to for movies structure on the flag of the growing only familiar stars in the line up the americans lived up to the hype of heavy favoritism. to paper the dutch gold i with macon rypien though often the provider. denied by the brilliance of shoddy van veen and. the 29 year old's hands kept it in before half time as the teams were level with the bike it wasn't until the alamar before the hand of the video assistant referee would finally break the orange resistance a penalty awarded rypien 0 stepped up and put one hand on the trophy. the captain capping a tournament in which he laid on and off the pitch. like minutes later roosevelt put the finishing touches on the victory with a 2nd goal deserved win that makes the usa world champions a 4th time. meghan repeat no winning player of the tournament as a team might history in the. i already are spun it a little muddy was at th

megan rapinoe scores and wins the golden boot for most points in a tournament. another goal. rose takes it herself and keeps her 26 goals for the tournament for team usa, most ever in a world cup. they win the fourth title and rapinoe given the golden ball awa award. >> that's the ultimate thing we got tonight. unbelievable. i'm speechless. everybody has been trying to put it into words and there is no words. >> we just put so much work in the last couple of years. it has been so surreal and i get to do whey loat i love with peo love. it's an incredible experience. >> matt chapman will slug it out with the hitters. he is slugging it out tomorrow in cleveland. today he and the a's are wrapping up the season against the mariers. forget about the dog days. is it too late to add matt olson. he cranks it out of the yard despite missing all the april. that gives oakland a lead. a routine rbi base hit and the ball gets by dylan and that allows them to score, 5-0, oakland. you be the judge. it's called a home run. video review shows it is clearly foul, but the ump calls

that was megan rapinoe, who right now is bigger than lebron, bigger than brady, bigger than just about sports world and maybe beyond. rapinoe is co-captain and star of the u.s. women's national soccer team which just won the world cup again. but she's about much more than soccer. rapinoe has made news both for her fight for equal pay for women's soccer players and for her refusal to celebrate with her team at the white house. we are very happy to have megan rapinoe join us this morning. welcome to "meet the press." >> thank you. thank you for having me on. >> a long-time boxing reporter who's now a baseball announcer, charlie steiner, said to me he viewed you as a modern day ali. here's what "sports illustrated" wrote. there are elements of a modern-day ali many rapinoe's co-mingling of sports and social activism, to say nothing of her ability to turn the media's attention, even when negative, in certain circles to her advantage. what do you make of the ali comparisons? >> that's very flattering. i don't know if i'm ali, but i'm happy to be the biggest ally akin to ali. >> what opportu
