‘We stand unified together’ – Long expects USWNT to snub White House visit after Rapinoe & Trump row

Allie Long has conceded that the U.S. women's national team probably will not accept a potential invite to the White House after winning the World Cup, with Megan Rapinoe's row with Donald Trump still fresh in their memories.
