<\/p>\nMegan Rapinoe has been mocked for 'playing her own entrance music' ahead of her farewell appearance for the US women\u2019s team.<\/p>\n
The 38-year-old brought the curtain down on her legendary career with a friendly match against South Africa in Chicago at the weekend. Known for her activism off the pitch as much as her accomplishments on it, the World Cup winner rounded off her playing career in typically brash fashion.<\/p>\n
Ahead of the South Africa game, she was captured heading into the US dressing room wearing bright reflective sunglasses and clutching a speaker playing music. The scene has led to criticism from some, including US sports columnist and podcaster Jason Whitlock.<\/p>\n
