Megan Rapinoe silences conservative critics by scoring twice as USA wins bronze

Megan Rapinoe has done it again! The controversial football star scored not one but two goals in the U.S. women’s football team final match, beating Australia by 4-3 and earning the bronze medal at the TokyoOlympics.

This is a huge accomplishment for the women’s football team, as they got off to quite a rough Olympics start. First, after waiting five years since their heartbreak of losing to Sweden at the 2016 Olympics, they faced a nearly identical fate this year when Sweden once again defeated the team in a 3-0 match. Following this upset, Team Canada beat USA by 1-0 — the first time the U.S. had lost to their northern neighbours since 2001.
