The U.S. teams win and Rapinoes goals comes days after the soccer star told Eight by Eight magazine in an interview published Tuesday, Im not going to the fucking White House .

Rapinoe was responding to a question about the prospect of a White House visit. Her unfiltered response prompted a series of tweets from President Donald Trump , who mockingly said that Rapinoe should WIN first before she TALKS!

Clearly, the presidents sneer didnt age well. Rapinoes World Cup goal celebration quickly became a meme poking fun at Trump and his remarks on Twitter.

Rapinoe, who came out as gay in 2012 and who notably joined then-NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernicks peaceful protests for civil rights in 2016, referred to herself as a walking protest of the Trump administration in an interview with Yahoo last month.

On Friday, Rapinoe accepted an invitation from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), who invited the star and the entire U.S. womens national team to tour the House of Representatives.
