The U.S. men’s national team’s recently released 2026 World Cup campaign with the slogan, “Never Chase Reality,” prompted strong criticism and mocking from one of the country’s most prominent soccer figures: Megan Rapinoe.
The now retired Rapinoe helped the U.S. women’s national team win consecutive World Cups in 2015 and 2019. She also helped the USWNT an Olympic gold medal in 2012 and a bronze medal in 2021.
