Megan Rapinoe has once again made some controversial headlines, this time with her appearance in the Netflix documentary called “Under Pressure.” She openly addressed the challenges she went through during her stint with the United States Women’s National Team (USWNT).

The series dives deeper into the team’s terrible performances at the 2023 Women’s World Cup. They failed to shine and underperformed beyond limits. The team crashed out of the tournament in the round of 16 against Sweden in a penalty shootout. Rapinoe, who is one of the most decorated female footballers of all time had a startling description about playing for her country.

I always say it's the worst job in the world because if you do your job, then you were supposed to, and if you do one hair less, then you are gonna get lambasted for it.
Rapinoe said, as reported by Goal.com.

Rapinoe has blamed her coach Vlatko Andonovski, addressing the harsh scrutiny faced by the expectations of leading the “so called best side“. This comes as a surprise to football fans who witnessed her struggles on the pitch. It was followed by her missing the penalty in the shootout and then trying to shift the burden on the team and manager.

It also led to Andonovski’s resignation after facing much criticism for his tactics and team selection. After going through a successful surgery, it will be interesting to witness the next move of the women’s football icon.
