One thing the USWNT never leaves home without: its American flag, which is hung up in the locker room before every game.
"The flag was presented to us by four WWII veterans from the cemetery in Normandy in France back in January. We wanted something special to carry with us on this journey and we were fortunate to meet these four incredible veterans," Dell says. "And we walked through the cemetery with them as they were telling us their stories. the flag came down at 4 p.m. and the veterans presented it to the team. So, it's very dear to our heart. and I think it's a really cool culmination is starting in France, flying over American piece of land in France, us traveling with it on our journey and leading us to this tournament and then to a degree the flag coming home to carry us through this World Cup.

What’s a USWNT?
Far superior and tougher than the USMNT. Although they are obnoxious.
Has me-gan rapinoe spat on it yet?
The Ministry of Propaganda figured they needed to counter the kneeler so the Women’s soccer team doesn’t lose fans like the NFL did.
Only one player dishonors the vets that sacrificed for her freedoms.
The irony is off the charts.
Damage control article.
When they fire that America-hating skank, I’ll believe this oombalah. Until then, spread it on the sweet corn.
That dink single-handedly turned me against the entire team. She’s poison and does not deserve the honor of being a member. As long as she is on the team, I will not watch and I will root against them

F*ck that team.
They are as phony as the day is long.
GO FRANCE. Kick their @sses.
I really feel badly having mocked The French and their leaders for their many wrong decisions. I want to make amends, just this once, and cheer for their Woman's soccer team.
There was a Christian woman kicked off a soccer team because she wouldn’t wear A LGBT uniform.
In America, not all people are created equal.
Exactly what this article is all about and it was planted by the organization’s media staff.
Don’t know why so many of you are down on the entire team. Rapino is the only asshole that does the idiotic protesting. The rest of the team doesn’t disrespect the US, and they’re the only Team USA Soccer team that ever wins international tournaments. Our mens team constantly disrespects the US by always losing, they didn’t even qualify for the last WC, totally embarrassing.
May they fall to the trump curse...
