Megan Rapinoe is one of the U.S. women's national team's most prized stars, having won the 2015 World Cup and the 2011 Olympics.
She currently captains her club of Reign as well as the current iteration of the USWNT who are looking to claim a historic fourth title at the 2015 World Cup in France. She has been a standout performer this summer, scoring two penalties against Spain and then scoring two goals against early favourites France in the quarter-finals.
The winger isn't just an influence on the pitch, however, being an openly gay female footballer and consistently speaking out on important topics such as LGBTQ+ rights and gender discrimination within sport.
