USWNT VS South Africa: How to watch Megan Rapinoe’s last game on TV and online
The stage is set for the second game of the US women’s team against South Africa this week, and we have all the information on the match ready for you.
The US women’s team began their preparation tour for the coming Paris Olympic Games in 2024 with a positive outlook after the team defeated South Africa 3-0. Now they will have to face the Banyana Banyana a second time at Soldier Field in Chicago for what will be Megan Rapinoe’s last game with the team.
Before the World Cup in New Zealand started, Rapinoe had already said that the tournament would be the last she played on an international level. Now the organization is paying tribute to her by making this game all about her. For quite some time, the attacker was the face of the team on and off the field, not only because of her goals but also for her activism on the “Equal Pay” movement front.
The prolific winger is one of the few Americans to win the Ballon d’Or Féminin in 2019 and be the fourth player to have 200 caps for the team. She scored 63 goals, earning her the 10th spot in the team’s history.
But Rapinoe is not the only player retiring from football. Julie Ertz also called it quits. The player had her last game on Thursday against the South Africans on what was an emotional day for the whole team.

The Stars and Stripes dominated the Banyana Banyana in their first game. The US was up 3-0 before the first half was over. It shouldn’t be any different from what we could expect on Sunday. The Americans are the favorites for this match, and being that it will be the last game for Megan Rapinoe, they should have the right amount of motivation for this one to be an easy win for them.
